help Mitsuboshi V-Belt FAQ

What are common automotive applications for Mitsuboshi V-Belts?

Mitsuboshi V-Belts are frequently used as drive belts for engine accessories like alternators, water pumps, and air conditioning compressors. The brand is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for several Japanese automakers, including Toyota and Honda.

How do I identify the correct Mitsuboshi V-Belt size for my vehicle?

You can find the correct size by checking the part number stamped on the side of your old belt or by looking up the specific engine code in Mitsuboshi's online catalog. The numbers typically indicate the belt's section size and effective length in millimeters or inches.

What is the difference between a Mitsuboshi raw edge V-belt and a wrapped V-belt?

Wrapped V-belts have a fabric cover that makes them highly resistant to heat, oil, and abrasion, making them ideal for rough industrial pulleys. Raw edge belts lack this cover, providing better grip and flexibility, which is perfect for automotive engines with smaller pulley diameters.
