Where this product is used

Gates Automotive Micro-V belts drive engine accessories on cars, utes and light commercial vehicles — not industrial or agricultural equipment. Typical uses include:

• Serpentine (single-belt) accessory drive systems on modern passenger and light commercial vehicles

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Select by belt section (J or K) and rib count to match your vehicle’s original belt, or cross-reference by Gates or OE part number — the code reads as ribs + section + length in mm (e.g. 6PK1200 = 6 ribs, K section, 1200 mm). K section is the modern automotive standard; J section is still used on some models. Looking for an industrial Micro-V belt instead? See our industrial Micro-V range. When in doubt, contact AIMS — we’ll confirm the right cross-reference for your vehicle.
