  • Publication number: 20240011550
    Abstract: A filtering pulley for an accessory transmission of an internal combustion engine that has a hub, a crown, a filtering unit for transmitting the torque interposed between the hub and the crown, a torsion spring, a carrier, and a torque limiting joint. The torque limiting joint has an open-loop strip spring and is configured to slide with respect to said surface when the torque transmitted between the crown and the hub reaches a predetermined level.

  • Patent number: 11506264
    Abstract: A tensioner that has a base adapted to be secured to an engine, and at least one arm hinged to a pin fixed to the base and bearing a pulley adapted to cooperate with a belt of a transmission of the engine, and elastic means for pushing the at least one arm in a direction so as to keep the pulley against the belt. The tensioner has sensor means for acquiring in real time a plurality of data relating to the tensioner to estimate the state of efficiency of the same.
