Litens is the world leader in belt tension control. Engineered control of pre-set (static) and running (dynamic) belt tension will result in world class systems that are efficient and transmit maximum power under all conditions. It is not enough to just drive the accessories anymore. Consumers demand quiet and smooth running cars without annoying rumbles and squeaks. Emissions reduction and fuel efficiency in every vehicle component and system is increasingly important to meet global objectives. And now major engine producers recognize that accessory drive optimization, or total tension control, can squeeze more miles from every drop of fuel while delivering unprecedented low levels of noise, vibration and harshness.

Total tension control is a process that starts at the beginning of the design concept. Effective modelling, analysis methodology and experience are employed to create an accessory drive layout. Careful consideration of engine characteristics, accessory types and vehicle use, combined with properly selected belt tensioner, belt and vibration control strategy will result in state of the art systems. Finally, effective testing and evaluation of running hardware is required to fine tune the drive before production.

Litens recognizes the job is not complete at start of production and ensures continued customer support for warranty analysis and continual improvement.

Litens offers the products and methodologies to achieve total tension control for all systems including the most demanding applications. It’s the result of years of experience, research investment and listening to our customers.
