Alternator Idler Pulley
The alternator idler pulley is an important component in a car's alternator belt system. Its main function is to maintain proper belt tension and prevent vibration or slippage. This component is a pulley or roller mounted on a bearing, and as it rotates, it ensures the alternator belt moves along the correct path. This guarantees optimal performance of the alternator and other components connected to the belt, such as the power steering pump and air conditioning compressor.
