Gates 8PK1780 Serpentine Belt
Gates 8PK1780 Serpentine Belt
Product Description :
- It is a single, continuous belt used in modern internal combustion engines to drive multiple peripheral devices such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, water pump, and sometimes the air pump or fuel pump. It is designed to replace multiple separate belts with a single, efficient, and more compact system.
- It is one long belt that winds around various pulleys in a serpentine pattern, hence the name. Made from durable rubber or polymer-based materials, often with reinforcing fibers like polyester, to provide strength and resistance to wear and heat.
- The belt has grooves or ribs on the inside surface, which grip the pulleys and provide the necessary friction to drive components. This ensures smooth operation and prevents slipping.

A Serpentine Belt is a single, continuous multi-ribbed belt designed to drive multiple peripheral components in an engine, such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and more. Its flexible and durable design allows it to wind through a complex path with ease, making it a compact and efficient alternative to multiple V-belts.
-
Constructed from high-strength rubber compounds reinforced with synthetic cords, the serpentine belt ensures long-lasting performance, reduced slippage, and optimal power transmission in both automotive and industrial engines.
