Gates T38390 DriveAlign Automatic Belt Tensioner for V-Ribbed Belts

The Gates T38390 DriveAlign Automatic Belt Tensioner is a premium OE-quality tensioner designed for v-ribbed (serpentine) belt drive systems. As a global leader in Original Equipment system design, Gates engineers every DriveAlign tensioner to meet rigid tolerances that guarantee OE fit, form, and function — delivering the same durability and performance as the original part it replaces.

This tensioner automatically adjusts tension in the accessory drive belt to ensure proper function of accessory components, dampens peak loads during engine acceleration and deceleration, and helps your belt drive system perform reliably when it matters most.

Key Features:

• Patented vibration-damping mechanism absorbs extreme vibration to extend tensioner, belt, and accessory component life
• Patented labyrinth seal protects internal components to meet or exceed OE life expectancy requirements
• Premium precision bearings minimize friction for reduced bearing wear and noise
• Torsional round spring design provides consistent, reliable tension while resisting contamination
• Manufactured using the same or improved technology as OEM parts for a guaranteed factory match
• Built to rigid tolerances ensuring precise OE fit, form, and function

Gates DriveAlign tensioners are backed by Gates' heritage of innovation in power transmission engineering, making the T38390 a dependable choice for accessory belt drive system maintenance and repair.
