About the High Performance Automotive Timing Belt Line

The Gates High Performance Automotive Timing Belt line focuses on delivering durable and precise timing solutions for demanding engine applications. This product line utilizes advanced materials such as HSN rubber and fiberglass cords to maintain consistent performance under high stress and temperature conditions. The T332RB model exemplifies this approach, providing a timing belt designed to meet the specific requirements of Mitsubishi engines.

Detailed Product Description

The T332RB timing belt features a modified curvilinear (iii) tooth profile that enhances the meshing accuracy with sprockets, reducing wear and noise. Its 20 mm top width and 122 teeth ensure proper engagement and timing synchronization. The fiberglass cord reinforcement offers tensile strength and resistance to elongation, critical for maintaining engine timing over extended use. The HSN belt material provides resistance to heat, oil, and abrasion, contributing to the belt's longevity. The blue color coating aids in visual inspection during maintenance. This timing belt does not include timing marks, so alignment should be performed according to vehicle service procedures.
