Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Gates Premium OE Micro-V Belt K080755 features an 8-rib configuration that ensures smooth power transfer to engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. The belt’s EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) material offers superior resistance to heat, ozone, and wear, extending service life under demanding conditions. Reinforced with polyester cords, this serpentine belt maintains dimensional stability and resists stretching, which helps preserve proper tension and alignment. The K cross section and precise dimensions—top width of 1.087 inches (28 mm) and effective length of 1917 mm (75.47 inches)—make it compatible with a range of automotive applications requiring a standard v-ribbed belt.
