What is an endless timing belt?
Truly endless code BFX polyurethane timing belts are extruded without a weld. This gives you the strongest belt construction type making it ideal for power transmission applications. They have steel tension members as a standard and are available in multiple material versions.
What is the longest a timing belt has lasted?
On average you can expect a timing belt to last 60,000 miles to 100,000 miles. This will change based on the make, model, and year of your vehicle. Every manufacturer has their specific recommended years or mileage to replace the belt.
Can timing belt last 20 years?
Depending on what schedule you may read, including information distributed by the manufacturers themselves, the average life span of a timing belt is between 60,000 and 105,000 miles or after 7 to 10 years regardless of mileage.
What is the strongest timing belt?
Move-Series AT10 M – the strongest open-ended timing belt – BRECOflex.
What type of belt is a timing belt?
A timing belt is usually a toothed belt—a drive belt with teeth on the inside surface. A timing chain is a roller chain.
How many types of timing belts are there?
Timing belts are available in two sizes: in metric (millimetres) and imperial (inches) dimensions. The profile of the inner teeth of the belt which goes over the outer teeth of the pulley is the second most important factor. The most common forms are the trapezoidal and round tooth shape.
What should I do about my timing belt?
Take the following precautions to modify the pulley in use: 1) Remove burrs and maintain proper pulley angle; 2) Secure accurate dimensions after modifi cation; 3) Maintain the pulley strength after modifi cation. Otherwise, such non-fulfi llment could cause damage of the belt or pulley or you might suffer damages.
What should you do before using a belt?
Make sure the belt is properly set into the pulley groove before use. Improper application of a belt may cause its premature failure or personal injury. The belt and the pulley may be extremely hot after the operation. Allow them to cool down suffi ciently before touch.
Do you change all belts at the same time?
For the multiple belt drive, always change all belts at the same time. Failure to do so may shorten the service lives of the belts or cause personal injury. WarningDo not burn belt within a closed space, or hazardous gas can be produced, and you might die or suffer serious injuries by toxicosis.
What happens when you use a synchronous belt?
Such use can cause premature failure of the belt, and you might suffer injuries. If water, oil, chemical, paint, dust, etc. sticks to a belt or pulley, its power transmission could deteriorate and the belt ma y fail earlier, and you might suffer injuries. A synchronous (toothed) belt may make louder noise during high-speed rotation.
