Gates Corporation is a leading manufacturer of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions.

Micro-V belt runs over various Pulleys of Alternator, Water pump, Power steering pump, AC compressor, and air Pump like a serpentine.

The device is characterized by a small stiffness to ensure the required pre-tension in the belt over the lifetime of the engine, disregarding belt elongation, deformation, or wear with the mileage.

Our engineers and product experts ensure every tensioner we manufacture is built to rigid tolerances and specifications that guarantee fit, form and function for your application.This belt needs to be supported/guided with a large wrap angle to prevent it from vibrations, slippage, or coming out of pulley grooves. As the belt slips, the sidewalls become smooth and eventually a hardening of the belt, as a result of ‘heat ageing’, takes place.

In these, the alternator can work as a starter (if certain conditions are met) and/or as a booster to provide additional power. Patented labyrinth seal protects internal components to meet or exceed OE life expectancy requirements.

But over the years, as engines became more complex and advanced, the fans became electrical rather than mechanical.

Gates engineered tensile cord has the necessary combination of strength and flexibility using advanced polyamide.

Inside today’s compact engines, vehicle manufacturers often include a TVD inside the system in place of traditional crankshaft pulleys. Micro-V® belts have ‘sidewalls’: they consist of miniature V’s all linked together to guarantee an even load distribution. Motor mode is exploited as an electric boost, where the BSG assists the ICE for transient accelerations.

This combination creates more rotational forces in the system, meaning that the V-belt has an ever more crucial role to play.It has the role of maintaining a suitable amount of tension on the belt, especially on the slack span, during all the load conditions of the engine. On the other hand, an Auxiliary Belt drive also takes power from the Crankshaft and drives various types of key peripheral components (such as the Alternator, Water pump, Power steering pump, AC compressor, air Pump, etc. This mode changes the tensioning conditions of the Belt Drive System and leads to a fast exchange between slack and tight spans. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
