Gates PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Tensioner

The Gates PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Tensioner keeps your engine's timing belt at the correct tension. Correct tension helps maintain accurate valve timing and smooth, reliable engine operation. Gates is a leading OE supplier of belts and tensioners. This tensioner, also called a timing belt tensioner or belt tension pulley, is designed to work with the PowerGrip timing belt system.

Key Features:

• Applies and maintains proper timing belt tension over the life of the belt
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards
• Durable construction for long service life under heat, load and vibration
• Helps reduce belt wear, noise and the risk of belt slippage or tooth skip
• Supports precise camshaft and crankshaft synchronization

Replacing the tensioner along with the timing belt is a common practice. A worn tensioner can shorten belt life or lead to engine damage. Choose the specific part number for your application from the options listed on this page.
