About Gates Tensioner Assemblies

Gates DriveAlign belt tensioner assemblies automatically maintain accessory belt tension, helping limit belt slip and support consistent operation of engine-driven accessories. The assembly combines the tensioning mechanism, pivoting arm, and pulley to respond to changing loads during engine acceleration and deceleration. Engineered for OE-quality fit, form, and function, DriveAlign tensioners use application-specific designs and durable materials to match the original drive system. Gates’ vibration-damping technology helps control belt movement and absorb fluctuating loads, supporting longer service life for the belt, tensioner, and related accessory drive components.
