Pix Belts Accessory Drive Belt

Pix Belts Accessory Drive Belts: Global Engineering Meets Everyday Reliability

When an engine's alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, or water pump stops receiving power, everything downstream suffers. That's the critical role played by the accessory drive belt — and it's a role that Pix Belts (PIX Transmissions Ltd.) has been engineering solutions for since 1981. As one of the world's most established belt manufacturers, PIX brings decades of materials science and power transmission expertise directly to the accessory drive belt segment.

The PIX-Force® Automotive Series

Pix Belts' automotive lineup centers on the PIX-Force® Automotive Series, a line purpose-built for the demands of modern and older vehicle engines alike. PIX-Force® Automotive Belts are available for two-wheelers, cars, vans, trucks, buses, and heavy and light-duty vehicles. Whether your vehicle runs a single serpentine belt or relies on multiple V-belts, the PIX-Force® catalog is designed to cover a broad range of configurations.

For modern vehicles, a serpentine belt — also known as a multi-ribbed or drive belt — is a single, continuous belt that winds through various pulleys to power multiple components simultaneously, including the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump. PIX manufactures its Poly-V (serpentine) belts to meet these exacting multi-accessory demands, leveraging advancements in technology and rubber compounding to make the serpentine belt a reliable, single-element solution for driving all engine-associated accessories.

Construction That Goes Beyond the Surface

What sets PIX-Force® accessory drive belts apart is the engineering layered into their construction. The belts feature a special rubber-impregnated top fabric that resists abrasion and cracking, specially engineered high tensile strength cords to facilitate high power transmission, and high-modulus compression rubber for superior transverse stiffness. For vehicles that demand even more, PIX also produces Moulded Raw Edge Cogged (REC) belts — engineered for next-generation, high-speed engines, with a cog profile that offers enhanced flexibility and heat dissipation, higher power transmission capacity suited for smaller diameter pulleys, and excellent resistance to oil and heat, with a temperature range of -25°C to +100°C (or -45°C to +120°C for EPDM variants).

A Manufacturer With Global Reach and Proven Credentials

Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, PIX Transmissions Ltd. is a publicly traded manufacturer of belts and related mechanical transmission products serving customers worldwide. The company maintains overseas subsidiary operations in Europe and the Middle East, in addition to over 250 committed channel partners in over 100 countries worldwide. A fully computerized mixing plant and ultra-modern production facility reflect the company's emphasis on automation and quality — factors that directly translate into consistent belt performance and dimensional accuracy across their accessory drive belt range.

PIX works with OEM solution providers through its manufacturing facilities and a knowledgeable, experienced R&D team, offering products with a high performance-to-price ratio. For the everyday driver or professional technician sourcing a replacement accessory drive belt, this means getting a belt built to serious engineering standards without unnecessary cost overhead.

Choosing the Right Pix Accessory Drive Belt

Regular visual inspection for wear, proper tension adjustment, alignment checks, and adhering to manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules are vital for belt longevity and performance. When it's time to replace, matching the correct PIX-Force® belt profile and length is essential. PIX offers its belts in both moulded and raw edge cogged variants across a wide range of sizes to suit numerous vehicle applications.
