The ContiTech Power Transmission Group has overhauled its information material for the automotive aftermarket.

A new “Belts and components. Technology – Know-how – Tips” publication provides comprehensive technical know-how on all aspects of belt drives, while two compact brochures also introduce the product and tool ranges and highlight the benefits and features of ContiTech belts and water pumps.   All three publications can be downloaded in PDF format at www.contitech.de/aam-dl-en or can be ordered online at contitech.de/mediaservice.

The new “Belts and components. Technology – Know-how – Tips” brochure provides an overview of belts and belt drive components and how to make optimal use of them. Using clear graphics and simple text, the brochure explains how power is transmitted via the belt – and how belt pulleys, idlers and water pumps are designed. Readers can learn the causes of cracks or tears in the belt, lost teeth or seized pulleys or idlers and how to avoid such faults in future. At corresponding locations a special app enables users to access three-dimensional graphics which can be rotated and moved, call up exploded drawings and view animated videos.

The 40-page “Belts and components – The product range” brochure focuses on ContiTech products. Each product is explained on a separate page. In addition to information on important product features and technical details, the publication also offers a quick and convenient overview of the whole product range. The user-friendly tab function will enable anyone looking for a particular product to quickly to track it down successfully.

The 30-page “Measuring and Fitting Tools for professional belt replacement” brochure provides workshop professionals with all the information on the tools which ContiTech offers for changing belts.

The brochures also contain an introduction to ContiTech’s digital services, the Product Information Centre.
