Gates Auto XL V-Belt Effective Length Accessory Drive Belt

The Gates XL V-Belt is a classic-style accessory drive belt, also called a V-belt or fan belt. It transmits power from the engine crankshaft to accessories such as the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. The line is sold in multiple effective lengths to suit a wide range of applications.

Key Features:

• Wedge-shaped V-belt profile that grips the pulley grooves for reliable power transfer
• Reinforced cord construction for strength and resistance to stretching
• Rubber compounds designed to resist heat, oil, and wear
• Built to Gates quality standards for consistent fit and performance
• Suitable for automotive, light truck, and other belt-driven applications

Gates is a long-established name in belts, hoses, and power transmission products. It supplies many original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket. Replacing a worn, cracked, or glazed V-belt helps keep accessories running properly and reduces the risk of slippage, noise, and breakdowns.
