Gates V Belts

Orranje are proud to supply Gates V belts and pulleys for your MINI! Gates Corporation is an industry leader in manufacturing power transmission solutions. Through extensive research, Gates create products that push the limits of engineering science to give you the best performance possible.Formed by Charles C. Gates in 1911, Gates began as a tire and rubber company in Denver, Colorado. In 1917, Gates invented the V belt, which provided a solution to the problems encountered by traditional flat belts at the time, revolutionising power transmission in virtually every industry! Now, Gates is a worldwide company, continuing to be the front runner in power transmission product development.V belts are transmission belts that connect to pulleys, acting as power transmitters from the engine to the ancillary components such as the alternator and hydraulic pump. In a combustion engine, the combustion of fuel causes the crankshaft to rotate, which drives the V belt pulleys, making them responsible for the correct operation of the engine.Orranje supply both the V belts themselves, as well as the pulley kits, which are often recommended to be replaced at the same time to ensure maximum longevity and performance for your MINI.Browse from our selection of Gates belts and pulleys below!
