What should temperature be for timing belt backings?
The flexibility of the timing belt also reduces at low temperatures. The minimum diameters referenced for the backings in this catalog serve as a guideline. They apply at an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F) and speed of 1 m/s, and assuming a low load burden.
What happens to the friction of timing belts?
Friction value increases as temperatures rise and reduces at temperatures below freezing. At low ambient temperatures, the flexibility of the backing reduces. You should therefore select larger pulley diameters than you would at normal temperatures. The flexibility of the timing belt also reduces at low temperatures.
How does a brecoflex timing belt backing work?
BRECOflex belts with backings, available in various thicknesses, offer different ranges of hardness, density, abrasion resistance, and coefficients of friction to suit your application. We utilize a heated chemical bonding process to adhere the backing to the belt.
What kind of material is a timing belt made of?
Nitrile-based vulcanized material, approx. 55 Shore A tolerance for total thickness (timing belt + coating ± 0.4mm) (ground ±0.1mm possible -20°C to +110°C (-4°F to 230°F) resistant to oils, greases and other chemicals; water resistant contours can be grinded and milled and surface ground
What happens if the timing belt breaks on a Honda CRV?
If it is a chain, you should at least have it inspected for wear, slippage, stretch or missing parts and have the valves checked for adjustment. It will run smoothly right up the point the belt breaks and totals the engine. Very few engines (anymore) are non-interference, ie. the valves won’t hit the pistons if the belt breaks.
Who makes the better ( best ) timing belt-maintenance?
Both places have gladly handed me MOOG suspension parts, Melling oil pumps, Fel-Pro gasket sets, Bosch O2 sensors, Goodyear belts and hoses, Perfect Circle piston rings, Timken bearings, Motorcraft alternators/starters, Raybestos brakes, etc., etc. I’ve never had a problem with Car Quest either; at least when we had one in this area.
Do you need lubrication for a timing belt?
Enter the timing belt. Timing belts are quiet, their production costs are relatively less than chains and sprockets, and they are light and needs no lubrication to function. The downside is that belts need to be replaced at specific mileage or time limits.
How are timing belts connected to the crankshaft?
By definition a timing belt is a toothed belt that connects the camshaft or shafts to the crankshaft thus “timing”the top and bottom of the engine. The camshafts turn at exactly ½ of the speed of the crankshaft to time the valve operation to the piston operation.
