In addition to synchronizing the crankshaft and camshaft, the timing belt may also drive other accessories, such as the water pump, oil pump, and sometimes even the alternator. This additional functionality can place extra stress on the belt, making it even more critical to monitor its condition regularly. A failing timing belt can lead to overheating issues if the water pump is not functioning correctly, adding another layer of complexity to engine maintenance.

To grasp the importance of belts in stepper motor systems, it is crucial first to understand how these motors operate. A stepper motor consists of multiple coils organized in phases. When electrical currents flow through these coils sequentially, they create magnetic fields that pull on the rotor—a component magnetized to respond to these fields. Each sequence of the current flow corresponds to a specific movement, or “step”, of the rotor. By controlling the sequence and frequency of the current supplied, precise control over rotation speed and position can be achieved.
