Gates A/C Compressor Flex Coupling,Alternator Coupler P/N:EG1

Keep your engine accessories driving smoothly and dampen vibration between connected shafts with the Gates EuroGrip Flexible Coupler, MPN EG1. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2004-2008 Volkswagen Touareg [All], the V10-4.9L (2004 and 2007) and the V10-5.0L (2006-2008).

EuroGrip flexible couplers are developed to transmit torque that drives engine accessories and to dampen vibration between two connected shafts. They relieve the stress a rigid coupling would create where those two shafts are subject to misalignment and axial movement, and they connect a decoupler pulley or one-way clutch and an accessory.

• Fiber-loaded HNBR construction: maximizes torque-transmission capability and controls damping, providing excellent long-term aging resistance.
• Glass fiber cord: delivers excellent dimensional stability at high rotational speeds.
• Lubricated jacket: minimizes coupling and end-piece wear while retaining tooth integrity during operation.
• Zero backlash, no moving parts: enables silent operation, and predictable shear properties allow for component protection.

Its flexible design accommodates component misalignment for stable performance. Country of origin: Mexico. Manufacturer part number EG1.
