ELA® Belt
Dayco ELA® belts, also known as “stretch” belts, are specifically designed for 2 to 4 point drives that do not require tensioning. Although these belts may look like standard poly rib belts, they are very different. These specially designed belts have self-tensioning capabilities required by specific original equipment (OE) drives designed for a “stretch” belt. Vehicles that are manufactured with “stretch” belts must replace those belts with “stretch” belts. These belts are not interchangeable with standard constructed belts of the same size.
Dayco ELA® belts utilize a proprietary EPDM construction that is designed to elongate over the fixed pulley system, and then maintain the required belt tension over the life of the belt. The backbone behind the Dayco ELA® belt is its specially developed polyamide tensile member, which allows for high elongation required for installation, yet provides the proper tension maintenance properties to transmit the accessory loads demanded for the drive. This belt construction incorporates a wear resistant EPDM rib material, along with a highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord, thus providing the required adhesion and flexibility to maintain lasting performance.
“Stretch” belts have unique installation instructions depending on the OE application. Installation may require a specialized tool for the application or a simple zip tie. Do not attempt to install by prying the belt on the pulleys. Dayco provides detailed instructions on the reverse side of the sleeve.
Timing Belt
It is estimated that nearly one-third, or about 70 million, vehicles currently on the road utilize a timing belt. Without proper maintenance and replacement, the timing belt can break, resulting in costly repairs. Manufactured with tough, wear-resistant fabric, high tensile strength cord and molded tooth surface, the Dayco timing belt provides consistent slip-proof power transfer and high resistance to oil and engine heat.
Dayco is recognized by the automotive industry as a world leader in the manufacture of timing belts. The Dayco timing belt, designed for OHC and DOHC type engines, features a molded cog design which runs quieter and is more economical. Dayco premium, high modulus glass fiber cord delivers precise length stability to keep the engine running smoothly over the life of the belt.
The belt’s compounding and tooth configurations are designed for specific applications ranging from normal service to high performance, high temperature engines, where HSN compound is used. The part number includes three final digits that conform to industry standard numbering.
Dayco timing belts meet all original equipment manufacturer performance requirements.
TOP COG™ V-Belt
Designed for efficient power transmission to the vehicle accessory, Dayco has combined raw-edge construction with Dayco’s patented top cogged design to ensure the top performance on vehicles and drives that still utilize V-belts. The Dayco Top Cog V-Belt delivers more flexibility and increases airflow around the belt so it runs cooler and lasts longer than most competitive belts. Three plies of neoprene impregnated fabric resist heat, oil and grease while a specially-formulated treatment of the polyester cord provides the strength, stability and reliability that are required from one of the most innovative, top-performing V- belts for nearly 30 years.
POLY RIB™ Serpentine Belts
Dayco approaches the market differently from most of its competition, believing that one serpentine belt construction will not perform best with all applications.
Built for cars and light-duty trucks, Dayco’s extensive line of Poly Rib serpentine belts are engineered for high mileage, demanding drives found in today’s vehicles. As the manufacturer of the first original equipment multi-ribbed serpentine belt, Dayco’s commitment to automotive product excellence and innovation is unwavering.
The Dayco Poly Rib W Profile serpentine belt is the most innovative advancement in serpentine belt design in over 25 years. Developed through extensive laboratory and actual road mileage testing, this unique rib profile EPDM belt has been engineered to conform to high mileage, worn or misaligned drives and help eliminate noisy belt conditions.
Constructed with aramid reinforced EPDM compounds, the Dayco W Poly Rib serpentine belt delivers more than just OE required quality; it delivers the solution to troublesome drive problems.
Dayco manufactures other serpentine belt constructions for application-specific belt drive systems, such as the ela® stretch belt, special deep rib belts for certain import applications, Linear Groove Technology belts and double-side belts.
- ela Stretch belt – Designed for direct replacement on accessory drives requiring stretch-type belts, Dayco ela belts are specifically designed for two- to four-point drives where the elastic belt design maintains constant tension on the drive.
- Deep Rib belt – Dayco discovered that certain import applications perform quietest when the rib depth of the serpentine belt is increased. Dayco added layers of material, increasing the rib depth of the Deep Rib belt, resulting in the best drive belt option for specific import vehicle applications.
- Linear Groove Technology (LGT) belt– Designed for specific applications that require the backside of the belt to run aggressive accessories and is another example of Dayco meeting the demands of vehicles with application-specific belt constructions.
- Double-sided belt– Designed for multiple accessory drives that require the transmission of power from both sides of the belt. The double-sided belt, which Dayco introduced to the automotive aftermarket, features a construction that uses a highly fiber-loaded compound on both sides of the belt to maximize load carrying requirements while minimizing pulley misalignment noise.
Hydraulic Timing Belt Actuator
Also known as a hydraulic tensioner, the Dayco Hydraulic Timing Belt Actuator is designed to absorb changes in the loss of timing belt tension.
A loss in timing belt tension may be caused by variations in engine temperatures, speed or general wear and aging of the belt. The Dayco Hydraulic Timing Belt Actuator maintains constant tension on the timing belt during crankshaft revolution which reduces noise, prevents belt flapping and ensures proper transmission efficiency throughout the entire service life of the belt.
Dayco is one of the first aftermarket companies to offer Hydraulic Timing Belt Actuators for the aftermarket. These parts are readily available through all Dayco aftermarket channels of distribution throughout North America.

PowerBond street series balancers use high strength SG (Spheroidal Graphite) iron rings and hubs that are pressure-bonded. PowerBond uses Dayco Race Series high pressure, low cure that features a natural rubber developed in Dayco laboratory. All PowerBond street series balancers feature an etched black primer with a two coat clear coat and fully etched laser timing marks.
Race Performance Harmonic Balancer
The PowerBond™ race series brings the advantages of bonded balancers to high revving and high horsepower street/race applications where an SFI approved balancer is required. PowerBond Race Series balancers have been tested beyond 21,000 RPM without failure.
Every PowerBond race series balancer features a precision CNC machined AISI 1045 forged steel hub bonded to an equally strong steel inertia ring. Advanced design mean that race series balancers are very light for an all steel product. In most cases they are only marginally heavier than the original cast iron balancer and generally much lighter than other all steel balancers on the market. The steel inertia ring on the race series models is positively protected against forward and backward movement. PowerBond uses Dayco Race Series high pressure, low cure that features a natural rubber developed in Dayco laboratory.
Every model has easy to read computer etched timing marks. All PowerBond race series balancers meet SFI specification 18.1.
