geely timing belt

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.

A non-interference engine is designed in such a way that there is enough clearance between the moving parts (the pistons and valves) such that if the timing belt were to fail, these components would not collide. This design feature is particularly advantageous as it provides a safety net for the engine in the event of a timing belt failure. In contrast, an interference engine does not afford this luxury; failure of the timing belt in such engines typically leads to catastrophic damage, including bent valves and damaged pistons, which can result in extensive repair costs.
