Gates sets the OE standard with new Micro-V Belts

Gates introduced a new generation of Micro-V belts at Automechanika Birmingham with a firm emphasis on the OE pedigree of the new range. 


Gates Micro-V belts are a standard OE fit in many Ford, PSA and VW Group models. The company also delivers power to Mercedes Benz, Ferrari and Aston Martin reinforcing its OE credentials. This strong OE track record is built partly on the quality of the EPDM rubber compounds used to manufacture Gates OE belts. This means greater crack-resistance and reliability under the most extreme temperature variations. Gates uses the same compounds and the same OE design technologies in the construction of the latest generation of Micro-V belts. Advanced tensile cord materials provide the necessary strength and durability.

The Gates Micro-V range includes 4 different belt types to ensure it provides the optimum solution for each specific application. It includes;
• All-rounder  (ideal for 90% of European applications)
• Stretch Fit  (perfect for applications with stretch-type belts without tensioners)
• Stop&Start  (specially designed for belt-driven stop-start systems)
• Unique Fit  (specifically for more ‘sensitive’ systems)

Gates has taken care to ensure that the latest generation of Micro-V belts can be ordered and integrated into existing stocks with ease. For every vehicle application, the online catalogue (www.Gatesautocat.com) automatically selects the appropriate belt from the family of four. This gives peace of mind to parts distributors as well as garages. Gates Micro-V belts cover 99% of the European car parc.
