Are timing belts interchangeable?
Timing belts with the same number of teeth: not interchangeable! We’ll cut straight to the answer to the question we raised in the introduction: no, these belts are not interchangeable. There’s a reason they have different product numbers and that’s because they are not 100% the same.

What is the difference between rubber and polyurethane timing belts?
Note the construction of the timing belt. Rubber construction is extremely flexible while a polyurethane construction is plastic like and has little flexibility Measure the pitch (see diagram). This is the distance in millimeters (mm) and/or inches between the center of the crown of one tooth and the center of the crown of the tooth adjacent to it.
What is the pitch of a timing belt?
By definition, pitch is the distance from one tooth center to the adjacent tooth center. Pitch choices for metric pitch timing belts include: T pitch, a metric trapezoidal pitch available in four pitch sizes: 2.5 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, and 20 mm.
Is a timing belt a pulley?
A timing belt pulley is part of the timing belt system for an automobile. A timing belt is one way to control the opening and closing of engine valves by connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft of the vehicle. Generally, the timing belt does this by having teeth that lock into the teeth of the two gears for the crankshaft and camshaft.
What is a synchronous pulley?
Synchronous pulleys are also known as timing pulleys because they often work with timing belts in motors. In principle, pulleys operate by translating rotational force of a motor or engine into a linear pulling force. They come in many shapes and sizes for various loads and speeds.
