The primary material used in timing belts is rubber, specifically a synthetic rubber known as Neoprene or chloroprene rubber. This material is favored for its excellent elasticity, resilience, and ability to withstand various environmental conditions, including temperature fluctuations and exposure to oils and chemicals. Additionally, timing belts often incorporate fabric, such as polyester, to provide added strength and durability. This fabric reinforcement helps to distribute loads more evenly and prevents stretching, which could lead to timing issues in machinery.

Once the right materials are prepared, the manufacturing process involves calendering, where the rubber is flattened into sheets, and then forming the belt with precise teeth and reinforcing elements. Advanced manufacturing technologies, such as automated cutting and molding, ensure each belt meets stringent quality control standards. These processes are crucial in producing belts that will function reliably over their intended lifespan.

Modern seat belts consist of a webbed fabric strap, a buckle, and a retractor mechanism that allows the belt to extend and retract. The three-point design encompasses the user's shoulder and lap, distributing the force of a collision across the stronger parts of the body. In the event of an accident, the seat belt restrains the occupant, preventing them from being thrown forward. This simple mechanism can effectively prevent injuries that might otherwise occur during a crash.
