Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the latest advancements in belt technology by Gates, focusing on the Micro-V Aramid belts designed for passenger cars and light trucks. These belts are engineered to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness, addressing common customer complaints and ensuring fewer returns.

Belt Construction
The Micro-V Aramid belts feature aramid cord construction, which is essential for high-demand engines such as high-output, forced induction, diesel engines, and those with challenging accessory drive geometries. This construction helps in reducing vibrations and ensuring optimal performance.

Material and Technology
The belts incorporate a patented EPDM rubber compound overcord that resists cracking, enhancing belt longevity. A specially formulated adhesion gum ensures a strong bond between the layers, while the aramid cords, stronger than steel, prevent elongation under high load and tension. The fiber-reinforced rib material undercord guarantees optimal performance and minimizes misalignment noise.

OE Collaboration
Gates collaborates globally with original equipment manufacturers to advance belt drive performance, offering cutting-edge serpentine belt technology and materials. This collaboration results in reduced warranties and comebacks.

Conclusion
Gates positions itself as a leader in OE aramid-construction belts, encouraging customers to request Gates Micro-V Aramid belts by name for their specific applications.
