Steel V-Ribbed 8 Grooved (72.4 mm x 30 mm x 33.3 mm)
Gates premium-grade tensioners are:
Precisely machined surfaces and assembly tolerances for an exact fit.
Patented damping system increases durability.
High-quality casting that meets or exceeds OE requirements
Full line coverage for Domestic, Import, and Heavy-Duty applications
Gates engineers recommend
that the serpentine belt and its automatic tensioner be replaced at the same time. It is highly probable
that the source of belt damage (tension loss, excessive vibration, misalignment, etc.) is the result of a worn
tensioner.
Understanding Belt & Tensioner Failure:
Service Tip: Always replace belts and tensioners together. Old tensioners will reduce a belt's lifespan, and can lead to issues such as overheating, a dead battery, diminished power steering, or poor air conditioning performance.
