NAPA launches overrunning alternator pulleys

Date: Monday 02 October 2023

For a quieter driving experience, automotive aftermarket brand NAPA has released its new range of overrunning alternator pulleys in the United Kingdom.

The overrunning alternator pulley (OAP) allows the alternator to coast to a stop when the engine is shut down, eliminating belt slippage and the squeaky “chirp” sound that occurs when an engine decelerates quickly. This process of decreasing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) minimises stress on the system and increases the lifespan of both the belt and tensioners.

NAPA Overrunning Alternator Pulleys are nickel-plated for superior corrosion resistance while a protective plastic cap prevents dirt, dust, and water intrusion. The robust design is engineered for quality vibration dampening and noise reduction.

With rigorous testing at high speeds and temperatures for 1000 hours, NAPA offers durable, reliable, and resilient components that you can trust. NAPA OAPs join alternators and starter motors in the NAPA Rotating Electrics range, backed by an extended 3-year/36,000-mile warranty guarantee.
