Gates Tension (496-1997) Plate
Available
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

Selecting 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). Contact AIMS to confirm the wording and layout for your specific drive.
