Gates T42016 Engine Timing Belt Idler Pulley

Gates T42016 Timing Belt Idler Pulley

The Gates T42016 is an engine timing belt idler pulley built for smooth backside belt contact and precise belt routing. It is a steel pulley with a 55 mm outside diameter, 25 mm width, and 10.3 mm inside diameter for applications that require a direct-fit timing belt pulley replacement.

Gates PowerGrip timing belt pulleys are offered as fixed idlers or as replacements for tensioner bracket applications, with designs available in metallic or plastic construction and in smooth or grooved contact surfaces. This T42016 pulley uses a smooth/backside surface and is intended for timing systems that rely on stable belt tracking.
