Idlers that don’t quit. Belt tension that won’t slip. That’s the Gates guarantee with our heavy-duty, wear-resistant idler pulleys and sprockets, designed to reduce wear, friction, and vibration on your drive system belts, ultimately extending your belt service life.
Gates is a global leader in Original Equipment System Design, and we bring the same OE-quality, durability, fit, and performance to our premium DriveAlign® Automatic Belt Tensioners. We ensure every tensioner is manufactured to rigid tolerances and specifications that guarantee OE fit, form, and function.
The accessory belt drive tensioner automatically adjusts tension in the Micro-V® belt to ensure proper function and output of accessory components, dampens peak loads during engine acceleration and deceleration, and ensures your belts and engine perform when your vehicle needs them most.
