Other important characteristics taken into consideration during the design are the resistance to mechanical stresses, such as torsion and resonance frequency. The pulley is then equipped with one or more grooves, in which a belt is inserted which transmits the power to the accessory parts. Now the question is that How does it work. So, by turning, the pulley transmits the motion of the crankshaft through the belt to the various service devices of the car, in turn equipped with pulleys driven by that of the crankshaft.
