damper pulley is a specialized component attached to the engine’s crankshaft. It combines the function of a pulley (to drive belts for alternator, AC, water pump, etc.) and a harmonic balancer (to absorb vibrations).
🔧 Functions:
Reduces torsional vibrations from the crankshaft, preventing engine damage.
Powers engine accessories through the serpentine or V-belt.
Ensures smoother engine operation and longer life of crankshaft & connected components.
✨ Key Features:
Constructed with a rubber damping element between the hub and outer ring.
Durable design to handle high-speed rotations and heat.
Critical for maintaining engine balance and reducing noise/vibration.
🚗 Applications:
Found in most modern vehicles with internal combustion engines.
Essential for vehicles with high-performance or heavy-duty engines.
