More than 100 million cars in Europe are equipped with a timing belt. With today’s technically advanced engine designs, it’s more important than ever that our customers can rely on us for high-quality timing belts with maximum durability. So Gates offers the automotive aftermarket an OE equivalent PowerGrip® timing belt for virtually every car on the road.
Manufactured with durable and reinforced rubber compounds (HSN) to resist temperature extremes and to protect the belt against grease, oil drops, moisture and wear;
Precision-formed teeth provide positive engagement with the mating grooves on the sprocket and reduce noise level;
Trapezoidal, curvilinear and modified curvilinear tooth profile, depending on the application;
Helically wound tensile cords, made of fibreglass, provide increased flexibility and resistance to elongation;
State-of-the-art jacket materials to protect the belt against the impact of the metal sprockets and to reduce noise generation;
Individually packed in sealed cardboard boxes, including a mileage sticker, showing belt applications, drive layout, timing marks and installationtips.
Timing Belt failure can result in unexpected breakdowns, or worse, catastrophic engine damage that may cost thousands of dollars to repair. Because Timing Belt replacement is often labor-intensive, it is recommended that all timing-related components be replaced at the same time (the life-span of your new Timing belt can also be reduced by as much as 50% if the components aren't replaced).
