Gates Chief Drive Belt V-Belt

The Gates Chief Drive Belt V-Belt line offers replacement accessory drive belts (V-belts) for engine accessory drives. They are built for demanding engine drive applications. Typical uses include driving the alternator, fan, water pump and air conditioning compressor.

Key Features:

• Notched high-capacity V-belt design: the notched profile improves flexibility along the belt's length.
• Fiber-loaded rubber construction: adds lateral stability in the pulley for quieter, smoother operation.
• Heat-responsive design: the belt tightens on the drive as it heats up. This helps prevent slippage and supports drive efficiency.
• Thermally active tensile cords: help the belt hold its performance under heat.
• Form-ground profile: gives a precise fit in the pulley groove.
• Low maintenance: requires no maintenance once it is properly installed and tensioned.

Each belt in the line is a single-strand V-belt. Gates is a long-established manufacturer of belts and power transmission products. Choose the belt length that matches your application and replace it as part of routine drive belt service.
