What are the dimensions of an XL timing belt?
As all our belts, XL timing belts can be cut to non-standard widths to meet your exact needs. XL timing belts are stocked in 21 thru 590 grooves. Aluminum pulleys, steel pulleys, molded plastic pulleys, plastic pulleys with overmolded aluminum hubs, and plastic pulleys with aluminum inserts are available as standardized items.
How is the tension on a timing belt measured?
Tension that is too high can reduce belt life and possibly damage other drive components such as shafts and bearings. Belt installation tension is measured in the following ways: Force/Deflection, Shaft Separation, Idler Force or by using a Tension Tester.
What are the different types of timing belts?
Energy efficient, particularly if replacing a “V” belt drive which incurs energy losses due to slippage. Installation tension is small, therefore, light bearing loads. 3/8″ (9.525 mm) Pitch L timing belts, aluminum pulleys, steel pulleys and molded plastic pulleys with either steel or aluminum inserts are available.
How big is a pitch timing belt SDP / Si?
SDP/SI offers a wide selection of standardized mechanical components including 40 D.P. (2.07 mm) Pitch timing belts and pulleys. The timing belts are available off-the-shelf in 9 standard inch and metric widths. Special widths can be cut to size from sleeves available from stock.
What is the specific purpose of a timing belt?
The purpose of a timing belt is to synchronize the the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshafts so that the engine’s valves open and close at the right times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes.
What does the timing belt do?
Jump to navigation Jump to search. Timing belt. A timing belt, timing chain, or cambelt is a part of an internal combustion engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s) so that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes.
What your timing belt does?
In the most basic terms, your timing belt synchronizes movement in your engine so that the valves open and close at the right time to allow your engine to work and power your vehicle. Let’s look at that a little more closely. Your timing belt works by synchronizing the movement between your camshaft and the crankshaft in your vehicle.
Is it important to replace my timing belt?
The importance & benefits of replacing your timing belt. Your timing belt helps run many fundamental parts of your car, including the vehicle’s engine, alternator, air conditioner and power steering pump. In older vehicles, the standard timeframe to replace a timing belt is around 60,000 miles.
