While the fan belt manages peripheral components, the timing belt is integral to the engine's internal operations. It is responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s), ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes. This precise timing is essential for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and power output.

The Basics of Timing Belts

B series timing belts offer several advantages that make them a popular choice among manufacturers and mechanics

5. Easy Maintenance The design of V-ribbed belt pulleys allows for straightforward installation and replacement, which can minimize downtime in industrial settings.

One of the standout features of HNBR rubber timing belts is their ability to perform effectively under extreme temperatures. Standard rubber belts may degrade or lose elasticity when exposed to high heat, leading to failures and reduced efficiency. In contrast, HNBR can withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to 150°C (-22°F to 302°F), making it ideal for high-performance engines and machinery.
