Details on the Gates Timing Belt Pulley Product Line

The Gates Timing Belt Pulley line focuses on high-quality valve train components designed to meet OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes durability and precision, providing components like the T42230 pulley that maintain proper timing belt tension and alignment critical for engine performance and longevity.

Technical Description of the T42230 Timing Belt Pulley

The T42230 timing belt idler pulley is manufactured from steel, offering robust resistance to wear and deformation under engine operating conditions. Its 10 mm inside diameter and 10 mm width ensure a secure fit on the shaft, while the 60 mm outside diameter is calibrated to maintain correct belt path geometry. The flanged end design helps keep the timing belt aligned, preventing lateral movement that could lead to premature belt wear or failure. The smooth backside contact surface minimizes friction and noise during operation, contributing to quieter engine performance.
