Gates Tension (496-1997) Plate

Gates tension adhesive-backed aluminium plates put your drive's critical belt data at the point of use. Supplied as an adhesive-backed aluminium plate, it records which belt(s) the drive uses, how many, and the correct installed tension, fixed to the machine so the next person to service the drive has the right information on hand, first time.

Where this product is used

• Belt drive installation and commissioning where Gates tension reference plates and stickers are required
• Quality and maintenance programmes where correct tension is documented and signed off at commissioning
• Workshop and field use across industrial, fleet and agricultural maintenance operations

Features

• Displays drive-critical info: the correct belt and quantity required
• Takes the guesswork out of belt selection and installation
• Supports scheduled maintenance over reactive, emergency belt changes

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Order a tension plate for drives serviced in harsher environments, aluminium is more durable than a sticker, or where the reference needs to last the life of the machine. For a lower-cost option, see our matching tension sticker (496-5008).
