Gates Maintenance (GATESK1) Kit - Case 1

The Gates Maintenance (GATESK1) Kit - Case 1 is a Gates-branded drive maintenance case for correctly tensioning and aligning belt drives. AIMS has not yet been able to confirm the exact tool line-up in this case against a Gates source document — contact AIMS to confirm contents before ordering. 60% of belt drive problems trace back to incorrect tension or misalignment — these kits give a technician the tools to get both right the first time, and check them again at every service.

Where this product is used

Gates drive maintenance kits equip a technician to commission and service belt drives to Gates published specifications. Typical uses include:

• Commissioning new belt drives to the correct installation tension and pulley/sprocket alignment
• Scheduled preventive maintenance rounds across industrial, agricultural and fleet belt drives
• Diagnosing premature belt or bearing failure traced back to tension or alignment faults

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Kit 1 (508C & AT-1) and Kit 3 (508C & EZ Align) both include the sonic tension meter; Kit 3 pairs it with the more capable EZ Align laser system and is Gates’ most popular configuration for a full commissioning toolkit. Kit 2 (AT-1 only) and Kit 4 (EZ Align only) suit a workshop that already owns a tension meter and needs alignment capability alone. Contact AIMS to confirm which case — including Case 1 and Case 2 — best matches your maintenance programme.
