Gates PowerGrip Timing Belt Idler Pulley

The Gates PowerGrip Timing Belt Idler Pulley guides the timing belt along its path in the engine's timing drive. It helps keep belt routing and alignment correct, so the camshaft and crankshaft stay synchronized. Depending on the application, it may also be called a timing belt idler, timing idler pulley, or timing belt guide pulley.

Key Features:

• Designed as part of the Gates PowerGrip timing belt system for dependable, long-lasting performance
• Supports smooth belt travel and correct belt alignment
• Built for the heat, load and continuous rotation of an engine timing drive
• Sealed bearing construction helps resist contamination and keeps the pulley turning smoothly
• Made with quality control standards expected from Gates, a long-time supplier of belts, tensioners and drive components

Replacing the idler pulley along with the timing belt, and with the tensioner and water pump where applicable, is a common practice. It helps restore proper belt tension and drive operation, and it reduces the chance of premature wear or noise. Choose the specific part number to match your application.
