Gates Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly

The Gates Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly maintains correct tension on the serpentine or accessory drive belt. It helps the belt drive the alternator, power steering pump, water pump and air conditioning compressor. Gates makes tensioners for many applications. Each one is built to keep belt tension consistent, reduce belt slip and limit premature belt wear.

Key Features:

• Complete assembly design that combines the tensioner mechanism, spring and pulley in one unit for a simpler installation
• Built to hold consistent belt tension over a wide range of operating conditions
• Internal damping helps control belt vibration and movement
• Pulley and bearing are designed for quiet, smooth operation and long service life
• Made by Gates, a long-established supplier of belts, hoses and drive system components to the original equipment and aftermarket industries

A worn tensioner can cause belt squeal, belt noise, pulley wobble, uneven belt wear or accessory problems. Replacing the tensioner when you install a new drive belt helps restore proper belt tension and drive system performance. Each variant in this product line has its own part number and specifications.
