Detailed Product Description

The Gates Timing Belt Pulley T41002 is part of the Gates Timing Belt Pulley product line, which focuses on delivering reliable and precise components for engine timing systems. This steel idler pulley features a 10 mm inside diameter, 35 mm width, and 62 mm outside diameter, designed to maintain proper tension and alignment of the timing belt. The smooth backside contact surface reduces wear on the belt, while the absence of a flanged end suits applications requiring a non-flanged pulley. This component is engineered to meet the exacting standards required for valve train components in vehicles such as the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Stratus, and Plymouth Breeze.

Applications and Common Issues Addressed
