GATES ELASTIC BELTS

AUTOMOTIVE MICRO-V HORIZON STRETCH FIT BELTS

​

Gates Stretch Fit® belts that are specifically designed for car models that are not equipped with a tensioning device.

Traditionally, tension of multi-ribbed belts is set by means of a tensioner. However, more and more car manufacturers are bringing out models where the accessory belt drive system is no longer equipped with a tensioning device.

For these special accessory belt drive systems, Gates offers the ideal response with its Micro-V® Horizon® Stretch Fit®belts. They are pre-tensioned over the pulleys, thus maintaining tension that is capable of efficient power transmission over a long period of time, yet low enough to allow for easy installation and to prevent component failure.

CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING STRETCH BELTS

​

Elastic belts require different installation techniques than traditional serpentine belts with tensioners. Only with the right tool you can be sure the elastic belt will not be damaged when mounted. A range of Stretch Fit®installation tools has been introduced alongside our Gates Stretch Fit®elastic belts to ease installation, ensure perfect fitting, prevent damage to the belt and also protect the hands of the installer. Installation instructions are also printed on the inside of each belt sleeve and contain a reference to the appropriate Stretch Fit® tool.
