What does a damper pulley do?

What does a damper pulley do?

A damper pulley, commonly known as a crankshaft pulley, is a pulley mounted at the front end of the crankshaft. It drives the acces- sory belts, which in turn drive the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, water pump etc. The simple pulley has a damping effect on crankshaft stresses.

How does a super damper work?

The ATI Super Damper is an elastomer style harmonic damper. Unlike OEM style dampers with a press-fit elastomer material, a Super Damper employs a combination of 70 durometer O-rings and a unique, full-captured inertia ring to dampen harmful crankshaft vibrations.

What kind of pulley does a Super damper use?

If the damper is supplied with 3/8” rear pulley bolts ( i.e. supercharger versions), they will pass through a hole clearanced for this size bolt in the hub. These bolts will thread into the pulley and draw it up tight to the rear of the damper hub.

What kind of torque do I need for a Super damper?

Draw the damper assembly onto the hub evenly. Torque the six (6) flathead screws to 16 ft/lbs. For any 5 1/2″ damper with 1/4″-20/28 bolts, torque to 120 in/lbs utilizing Loctite. Be sure to use Blue Loctite 242 and the proper Torx-40 Plus Bit in most cases. T40 PLUS is not a standard Torx bit.

Which is the most torqued crankshaft pulley bolt?

Crankshaft pulley bolt is the most stubborn, highly torqued and perhaps the most challenging bolt to remove in a car. These bolts can have a rating of 400-700 lb-ft or more especially if they’re rusty or have never been removed.

How do you install a Super damper on a car?

Install as a complete damper. Remove pulley bolts, install pulley, apply Loctite and torque all bolts. Proceed directly to Installation of Damper and Hub Assembly section. 4. It is highly recommended that you use anti-seize lubricant on the crankshaft before hub installation. 5.

What kind of pulley do you use on a Chrysler 6?

These bolts will thread into the pulley and draw it up tight to the rear of the damper hub. Use Blue Loctite 242 on all bolts and torque any 3/8” bolts to 28-30 ft/lbs and 5/16” bolts to 16-18 ft/ lbs evenly. NOTE: Chrysler (6) bolt dampers are not furnished with pulley bolts. 7.
