Gates Serpentine Belt

The Gates serpentine belt (also called a multi-rib belt, drive belt, or accessory drive belt) transfers power from the engine crankshaft to key accessories. These typically include the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Gates is a leading manufacturer of belts and power transmission components, and it supplies many original equipment manufacturers.

Key Features:

• Multi-rib design that drives several accessories with a single belt
• Durable synthetic rubber construction that resists heat, oil, and wear
• Reinforced tensile cords that help limit stretch and keep tension consistent
• Precision-molded ribs that grip the pulleys and help reduce slippage and noise
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards

Replacing a worn serpentine belt helps prevent squealing, accessory failure, and unexpected breakdowns. Check the belt regularly for cracking, fraying, glazing, or missing rib sections. For best results, inspect the tensioner and pulleys when you install a new belt. Select the correct belt length and rib count from the individual listings.
