Gates K050523 Micro-V Serpentine Belt 5-Rib 52.88 in.

The Gates K050523 Micro-V® Serpentine Belt is a premium OE-replacement drive belt engineered to deliver reliable, quiet performance for power steering and air conditioning accessory drives. Backed by Gates' industry-leading belt technology, this 5-rib belt matches the exact size, construction, and materials of the original equipment belt it replaces.

Gates Micro-V® belts are constructed with advanced EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber compound, which resists cracking and heat far better than traditional neoprene belts. Aramid fiber tensile cords provide exceptional strength and dimensional stability under load. The result is a belt that runs quieter, lasts longer, and maintains consistent tension throughout its service life.
