Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber is a type of synthetic rubber that is known for its excellent resistance to heat, oils, and chemicals. HNBR is produced through the hydrogenation process of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), which enhances its thermal stability and durability. The hydrogenation process saturates the double bonds in the polymer chain, reducing susceptibility to aging, ozone degradation, and environmental factors. This unique composition of HNBR makes it particularly suitable for timing belts, which operate under high stress and demanding conditions.

Maintenance Considerations

Applications of Double Timing Belts

Poly V belts find extensive applications across various industries. In the automotive sector, they are commonly used to drive accessories such as alternators, air conditioning compressors, and power steering pumps. Their ability to handle multiple drives with a single belt reduces the overall weight and complexity of the engine system.

The design of a poly V belt consists of several parallel ribs that run along its length. This ribbed configuration allows the belt to conform tightly to the grooves of the pulleys, minimizing slippage and maximizing grip. The typical cross-section of a poly V belt is flat on the top and has a trapezoidal shape on the sides, ensuring a secure fit into pulley systems.

The Importance of Seat Belt Maintenance

2. Engine Misfiring If the engine starts misfiring, it could result from the camshaft timing going awry due to a worn or damaged timing belt. This misfiring can lead to a decrease in engine power.

An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) timing belt is a component made by the same company that manufactured the original timing belt included in your Honda vehicle when it was first built. OEM parts are designed to match the specifications and quality of the original parts, ensuring a proper fit and reliable performance.
