The power steering pump is vital for reducing the effort required to steer a vehicle, especially at low speeds or during parking maneuvers. The drive belt enables the pump to receive power directly from the engine, allowing it to generate hydraulic pressure. This pressure amplifies the force applied to the steering wheel, making it easier for the driver to steer the vehicle. Without a functioning power steering pump drive belt, the power steering system would fail, leading to a heavy steering feel and potentially causing severe strain on the driver and the vehicle's steering components.

A double sided timing belt, as the name implies, is designed with toothed structures on both sides of the belt. This design allows for power transmission and synchronization from both sides, making it a versatile option for applications where space and efficiency are paramount. Unlike traditional timing belts that have teeth only on one side, double sided belts can accommodate pulleys that engage with both sides, effectively doubling the potential for motion transfer within a compact layout.
