engine timing belt

V-belts are powerful rubber or synthetic belts designed to transmit power between pulleys. They are named for their trapezoidal cross-section, which allows them to fit snugly into the grooves of the pulleys. This design maximizes the contact surface area, enhancing grip and reducing slippage. Commonly used in various applications, V-belts offer flexibility, high tensile strength, and durability, making them ideal for both high-speed and heavy-load operations.

Tooth belts are typically made of high-performance materials such as neoprene or polyurethane, reinforced with fibers like glass or aramid to enhance strength and durability. The primary characteristic that distinguishes tooth belts from traditional V-belts is the presence of teeth on the inner surface. These teeth engage with corresponding grooves on the pulleys, ensuring that there is no slippage during operation. The design allows for precise timing and synchronization between connected components, making tooth belts invaluable in applications where accuracy is critical.
