El cinturón de transmisión es una de las piezas que frecuentemente pasa desapercibida durante el mantenimiento rutinario del vehículo. Sin embargo, su estado es vital para el funcionamiento general del automóvil. Con el tiempo, el cinturón puede desgastarse, agrietarse o incluso romperse. Una falla en este componente puede resultar en un mal funcionamiento de varios sistemas, llevando a reparaciones costosas y a un posible riesgo en la seguridad del vehículo.

4. Durability Serpentine belts are designed to withstand high temperatures, vibrations, and wear and tear. This durability is essential for maintaining the longevity of the vehicle’s accessories.

4. Cost Timing belts are generally less expensive to manufacture and replace than timing chains, making them a cost-effective option for many vehicle manufacturers.

2. Precision Tooth Design The design of the teeth is engineered to minimize friction and noise, providing smooth and efficient transmission of power. The shape and spacing of the teeth also determine how well the belt meshes with the pulleys, impacting overall performance.
