3m-352-9 industrial timing belt

While non-interference engines have their advantages, they are not without limitations. Generally, these engines may not achieve the high-performance output that comes with interference designs. Manufacturers often use interference designs to harness the mechanical advantages of closely timed piston and valve movements, which can lead to greater efficiency and power. Consequently, many high-performance vehicles feature interference engines, leaving non-interference models commonly appearing in economy and compact vehicles.

On the other hand, flat belts feature a rectangular cross-section and are generally used in applications that require a lower power transmission capacity compared to V-belts. These belts are typically made of flexible materials, which may include leather, rubber, or synthetic fibers. The design allows flat belts to be used over longer distances between pulleys, making them ideal for specific setups where space is restricted or the distance between components is considerable.
