The Drive Belt in Mercury Cougar vehicles is an essential one used for making the engine to drive necessary parts like the alternator and A/C compressor. Usually the serpentine belt of a vehicle surrounds all these parts and links them to crankshaft pulley and transmits power efficiently. Most Drive Belts have a lifespan of 100000 miles but if one notices fracturing or fraying of the belt, replacement is advised because both the parts and the engine can be damaged as a result. Drive Belts come in different subtypes depending on the intended application; V-belts, multi-groove belts and timing belts have certain preferable characteristics such as high tractive force allowing them to grip the pulley grooves, increased flexibility to accommodate uneven surfaces and non-stick surface to eliminate slippage respectively. These belts are relatively cheaper to acquire, easy to install and maintain, and have high tolerance for misalignment; hence, they offer maximum efficiency and act as shock absorbers for load variations. Originally known as Flat Belt, with maturity in the mechanical systems, Drive Belts are now an intricate part of informational age mechanical systems and are considered as the efficient way of transmitting power and motion.
