Product catalog summary

Introduction
Gates Corporation introduces the Micro-V Aramid belt, a significant advancement in accessory belt technology for passenger cars and light trucks. This belt is designed to address common issues such as noise, vibration, and harshness, thereby reducing customer complaints and comebacks.

Belt Construction
The Micro-V Aramid belt features aramid cord construction, which is essential for high-demand engines. This construction reduces vibrations and ensures optimal performance in high-output, forced induction, diesel engines, and those with challenging accessory drive geometries.

Material and Technology
The belt incorporates a patented EPDM rubber compound overcord that resists cracking, enhancing belt longevity. A specially formulated adhesion gum ensures a strong bond between the overcord layer, aramid cords, and the ribbed undercord. The aramid cord is stronger than steel, preventing elongation under high-load and high-tension conditions. Additionally, the patented EPDM with fiber-reinforced rib material undercord guarantees optimal performance and minimizes misalignment noise.

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

Conclusion
For the latest in belt evolution, Gates Micro-V Aramid belts provide application-specific construction, exact fit, and comprehensive coverage. For more information, customers are encouraged to contact their sales representative or visit Gates.com/Aramid.
