This product line utilizes spring tensioners with engineered pulley designs to reduce wear and maintain consistent belt alignment. The T41001 part exemplifies this approach with its single flanged pulley and smooth contact surface, contributing to extended timing belt life and engine reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe T41001 timing belt tensioner features a spring tensioner type that applies steady pressure to the timing belt, preventing slack and ensuring accurate valve timing. Its plastic material offers resistance to corrosion and reduces overall weight. The pulley is flanged on one side to help guide the belt securely, with a smooth backside contact surface to minimize belt wear. The pulley measures 72mm in outside diameter, 11mm inside diameter, and 24mm in width, designed to fit specific engine configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Common Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrysler Acclaim, LeBaron, Phantom, Reliant, Spirit, Sundance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDodge Aries, Caravan, Dakota, Daytona, Dynasty, Grand Caravan, Shadow, Voyager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlymouth Car, Voyager, Sundance, and other compatible models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine valve train component to maintain timing belt tension and alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents timing belt slippage and reduces risk of engine misfire or damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Gates T41001 timing belt tensioner, ensure the engine is cool and the timing belt is properly aligned.
