Detailed Product Description

The Gates T215RB timing belt features a curvilinear (ii) tooth profile designed to maintain precise engagement with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, reducing slippage and wear. Its 25 mm top width and 143 teeth with an 8 mm pitch length of 1144 mm (45.039 inches) ensure a secure and exact fit. The belt’s fiberglass cord material provides tensile strength and flexibility, while the HSN belt material offers resistance to heat and chemical degradation. The blue color aids in visual inspection during maintenance. This timing belt does not include timing marks, so proper alignment during installation is critical.
