As the engine crank rotates at various RPMs depending on the condition, the belt tension will vary if there is no auto-tensioner.

It must be flexible enough to transmit power around the smaller pulleys at high revs under full load, yet capable of enduring extremes of temperature without losing structural integrity. As these components are internal they cannot be seen during an external visual inspection, further reinforcing the need to replace the tensioner when the drive belt is replaced. When dealing with micro-hybrid systems, the tensioner features need to be extended to the operating conditions inherent to the use of a belt starter generator (BSG). We ensure every tensioner is manufactured to rigid tolerances and specifications that guarantee OE fit, form, and function.As the belt slips, the sidewalls become smooth and eventually a hardening of the belt, as a result of ‘heat ageing’, takes place. Finally, the regular Micro-V® belt is an all-rounder designed for the direct replacement of 90% of the belts of the European fleet. In the old engines, the belt (V Belt) simply connected the crank with the radiator fan, so that fan runs continuously with the engine even if engine cooling is not required. In the most extreme environments and those more familiar Gates is there with the right product in the right place at the right time.

Gates Corporation based in Denver Colorado is a manufacturer of power transmission belts and fluid power products which are used in diverse industrial and automotive applications. This combination creates more rotational forces in the system, meaning that the V-belt has an ever more crucial role to play. From casting quality to the design of internal components, we understand that every aspect of a tensioner is critical to long service life, which is why we've engineered our DriveAlign® tensioners to exceed some of the most rigorous quality and performance standards in the industry. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Also, the tendency of individual (multiple) V-belts to “flip over” in the pulley groove (at high RPM and/or when the belt stretches) is eliminated by using a single and wide micro-v belt.

While high tension will definitely cause premature failure of the bearings supporting the pulleys (due to excessive radial load) and also surface wear of the belt itself.

While this information usually cannot be used to directly identify you, it can help to personalise your browsing experience. Therefore, the traditional tensioner acting only on one span has a null effect on the system because the force associated to its low stiffness is easily overcome by the new tight span. Designed to absorb vibration, the TVD takes a lot of punishment so early detection of wear is essential.In such circumstances, when a multi-ribbed belt span enters the grooves of the pulley, initial contact is made with just the side of the groove.

Every make and model has a recommended mileage interval – most car manufacturers also limit the period.
