Gates Timing Belt Tensioner

The Gates Timing Belt Tensioner (also called a timing belt tensioner pulley or belt tensioner assembly) keeps the correct tension on the timing belt. This helps maintain accurate camshaft and crankshaft synchronization and reliable engine operation. Gates is a leading OE supplier of belts and related drive components, and it designs these tensioners to meet or exceed original equipment requirements.

Key Features:

• Applies consistent, controlled tension to the timing belt to help prevent slippage and tooth skip
• Built with durable bearings and precision-machined components for smooth, quiet operation
• Engineered to OE specifications for proper fit, form, and function
• Tested for durability under the heat, load, and vibration of engine operation
• Available as a stand-alone tensioner or as part of a timing component kit, depending on the application

Replacing the tensioner at the same time as the timing belt is a common best practice. A worn tensioner can cause noise, belt wear, or premature belt failure. Gates tensioners help protect your engine and extend timing belt service life.
