Gates PowerGrip Timing Belt Tensioner

The Gates PowerGrip Timing Belt Tensioner is an engine timing belt tensioner (also called a timing belt tension pulley or belt tensioner assembly). It keeps the correct tension on the timing belt, so the crankshaft and camshaft(s) stay in sync and the engine keeps accurate valve timing.

Key Features:

• Maintains proper timing belt tension throughout the belt's service life
• Helps reduce belt slip, noise, vibration and premature belt wear
• Made as part of the Gates PowerGrip timing belt component line
• Designed to work with Gates PowerGrip timing belts and related timing components
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment performance expectations

Gates is a long-established manufacturer of belts, hoses and related engine components, and many vehicle makers use it as an original equipment supplier. Replacing the tensioner when you change the timing belt is common practice. Doing so helps protect the engine from the severe damage a failed or slipping timing belt can cause.
