Gates Balance Shaft Timing Belt

The Gates Balance Shaft Timing Belt is an engine timing belt, also called a balance shaft belt or balancer belt. It drives the balance shaft(s) in engines that use them, and it keeps the shaft(s) synchronized with the crankshaft. Balance shafts reduce engine vibration, so a good belt helps the engine run smoothly.

Key Features:

• Designed to maintain precise timing between the crankshaft and balance shaft(s)
• Made with durable rubber compounds and reinforced tensile cords for strength and resistance to stretch
• Tooth profile designed for accurate engagement and quiet operation
• Resists heat, oil, and wear in demanding engine conditions
• Built by Gates, a long-time supplier of OE belts and a leading name in power transmission

Replacing the balance shaft belt at the recommended service interval helps protect smooth engine operation. It is often done at the same time as the main timing belt service. For the best results, inspect the tensioner, idlers, and related components during installation.
