We have a huge range of OE quality parts sourced directly from their makers or authorised distributors.

Our engineers and product experts ensure every tensioner we manufacture is built to rigid tolerances and specifications that guarantee fit, form and function for your application. Whether building original equipment or maintaining products in the aftermarket we enable companies in every industry to be more efficient productive and profitable. Gates engineered tensile cord has the necessary combination of strength and flexibility using advanced polyamide. The device is characterized by a small stiffness to ensure the required pre-tension in the belt over the lifetime of the engine, disregarding belt elongation, deformation, or wear with the mileage. Gates DriveAlign™ laser alignment tool can be used to achieve perfect alignment between all ABDS components.

In the old engines, the belt (V Belt) simply connected the crank with the radiator fan, so that fan runs continuously with the engine even if engine cooling is not required. A specially formulated adhesive literally locks on to the cord, allowing the cord to elongate and stretch, while never losing tension.

From casting quality to the design of internal components, we understand that every aspect of a tensioner is critical to long service life, which is why we've engineered our DriveAlign® tensioners to exceed some of the most rigorous quality and performance standards in the industry. Another advantage of this multi-ribbed belt is that it saves space in terms of the length of the engine, as a simple V-belt could only handle two pulleys, or three at the very most.

As the auxiliary drive belt is naturally long, it is wise to have idler pulleys and/or a tensioner pulley in it to support and provide constant grip on all the pulleys. In these, the alternator can work as a starter (if certain conditions are met) and/or as a booster to provide additional power.

While this information usually cannot be used to directly identify you, it can help to personalise your browsing experience.While high tension will definitely cause premature failure of the bearings supporting the pulleys (due to excessive radial load) and also surface wear of the belt itself. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Conversly, if the belt is too slack or loose, excessive slip may occur on the pulley that will result in power or efficiency loss and system vibrations. We do not take any responsibility for the completeness and correctness of this information as many cars have multiple variations.

It must be flexible enough to transmit power around the smaller pulleys at high revs under full load, yet capable of enduring extremes of temperature without losing structural integrity.Now that we have learned about the importance of the ABDS system in modern engines, It is worthwhile to note that with certain modifications the normal ABDS system can be utilized to create a micro-hybrid system. Gates belts are engineered to run maintenance-free to keep your vehicles moving without the need for lubrication or retensioning.
