Highly engineered solutions are demanded by Stretch Fit Drive Systems.
The first Aftermarket belts engineered to fit like a glove and perform properly on these unique stretch fit drive systems are Gates Micro-V Stretch Fit Belts, which feature exclusive self-tensioning technology.
Extremely resistant to oil leaks, wear, and pilling, patented highly engineered EPDM belt ribs are used.
The needed combination of strength and flexibility is provided by Gates engineered tensile cord, which uses advanced polyamide tensile cord.
The cord literally locks on to the specially formulated adhesive - allowing the cord to stretch and elongate, but never lose tension.
Stretch Fit belts are shorter than the actual working length prior to installation, but they automatically tension once installed - maintaining the proper tension over the life of the belt and ensuring optimum load-carrying capacity.
Driven By Possibility is the motto of Gates.
