Since John Gates invented the first rubber and fabric V-belt in 1917, ingenuity has been bred into the engineers at Gates. The V-belt helped shape the future of power transmission in automobiles. Today, Gates engineers help our customers surpass their competition by creating better belt-driven products.
Our comprehensive line of belts, including V-belts, synchronous belts and specialty constructions, offer you limitless design possibilities. Enhance your drive design with our matching hardware, including sheaves and sprockets, bushings, idlers and tensioners, and crankshaft dampers. We also offer flexible couplings for electronic speed control systems. And we can package all drive components into a single module for a complete system solution.
