Abstract

The use of resins for idler pulleys in automotive engines is increasing for the purpose of improving fuel consumption efficiency which is achieved by reducing the weight. As part of these efforts, the industry has actively been developing plastic pulleys to replace conventional steel pulleys. It has been found that phenolic resin is a suitable material for idler pulleys because of its mechanical strength, dimensional stability. In order to solve the quality problem efficiently, which is the analysis evaluation technique is effective. In this research, the optimum conditions of the molding process could be efficiently extracted by the Taguchi method for the purpose of improving the strength of the resin pulley.
