Goodyear EP Gatorback™ Poly-V Belt
No belt is built to last like Gatorback™. A backing composed of tough, coated fabric provides twice the abrasion resistance of standard belts. It's oil and heat resistant, too. We call Gatorback “The Quiet Belt” because its diagonal Helicog™ teeth cancel the noise of pulley contact from one offset cog to another. The result is a reduction in operating noise up to 15 decibels.
1. Strong, stretch-resistant tension member – Specially treated
to maintain tension and resist stretch on both locked center drives
and spring tension systems.
2. Tough synthetic rubber ribs – Fiber-reinforced Wingprene®
rubber helical cogged ribs offer maximum cord support and wear resistance
for unsurpassed performance in high horsepower applications.
3. Oil/abrasion-resistant backing – The backing on every Goodyear EP
Gatorback Poly-V belt is a tough, coated fabric material. It's impregnated
with Wingprene® oil-resistant rubber for heat and oil resistance
to stand up to the friction needed to drive flat pulleys.
Goodyear EP Gatorback V-belt
So tough, they eat up the competition. When oil, heat and abrasion combine to weaken most standard V-belts, Goodyear EP Gatorback V-belts are still going strong. Gatorback V-belts outlast the nearest competitor by nearly 60 percent. They feature the same construction and Helicog™ tooth design of Gatorback Poly-V belts, ensuring added strength, flexibility, oil/abrasion resistance and quiet operation.
Goodyear EP Timing Belts
Goodyear EP Timing Belts are designed to deliver precise timing over a long service life in demanding automotive applications. The teeth are molded, not cut, for precision tolerances and a perfect mesh with pulley grooves. All materials are selected to assure consistent performance and durability in the hot, oily environments of today's crowded engine compartments.
- Precision-molded teeth
- Tough, synthetic facing for long belt and pulley life
- Dimensionally stable cords for strength and precision
- Oil-resistant backing for long-lasting protection
E-Z Coil™
E-Z Coil™ from Goodyear EP makes installing molded heater hose easier than ever.
By expanding hose applications with less inventory, end users with E-Z Coil on hand don't have to inventory thousands of parts or wait for parts delivery. This saves them time and money while improving customer service. It's just that E-Z.
- Bend straight hose into any molded shape you need with EZ-Coil.
- Takes only seconds to shape using hand pressure only.
- Maintains and holds up to a 90-degree bend and prevents hose from kinking.
- Three sizes: 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" can cover more than 26,000 molded hose applications.
- Stainless steel coils provide lifetime service, while strengthening and protecting the hose bend.
- Chosen by Popular Mechanics magazine for the "Editor's Choice Award," beating out thousands of other products on display at the 2005 Automotive Aftermarket Parts Expo (AAPEX).
Accu-DRIVE® Tensioners
Goodyear EP Accu-DRIVE® automatic belt tensioners meet or exceed O.E. specifications for all major car manufacturers. The belt remains at nearly constant tension throughout the entire operating range. Automatic tensioners generally do not require additional servicing and will self-adjust for normal belt elongation.
- SPRING: Maintains constant belt tension throughout the operating range.
- ARM: Connects spring to idler pulley while maintaining proper alignment.
- INSERT BEARING: Provides angular alignment for proper belt tracking.
- DAMPING ELEMENT (SPRING SUPPORT): Provides additional tensioner damping and load balancing.
- SPRING HOUSING/SPINDLE: Anchors spring. Arm pivots around the spindle.
- IDLER PULLEY: Pulley surface is grooved, flat or crowned.
- PULLEY BOLT: Allows service replacement of pulley and means for lifting arm.
- DUST SHIELD: Prevents high-pressure spray, foreign material or installation tools from damaging the bearing seal.
- FRONT PLATE: Holds tensioner together.
- THRUST WASHER: Provides thrust wear surface.
Goodyear EP Air Springs
We introduced the air spring in 1957 and we've been the leader ever since. Goodyear EP Super-Cushion® air springs are designed for durability, performance and value. They operate dependably in all climates, offering a quiet, cushioned ride and delivering long, trouble-free service. Vehicle suspensions are subjected to less shock and vibration.
