internal timing belt

Ribbed drive belts, also known as serpentine belts, have become an essential component in many mechanical systems, particularly in automotive applications. These belts are designed to transfer power from the engine to various accessory components such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump. Their unique ribbed design offers several advantages over traditional V-belts, making them an increasingly popular choice in both automotive and industrial settings.

V-belts are looped, flexible materials usually made from rubber or synthetic compounds, designed to link two or more rotating shafts. Their design—characterized by a trapezoidal cross-section—allows for better grip and increased surface area for power transmission. They are widely used in systems where a compact, efficient transfer of power is required. From simple home appliances to complex industrial machinery, V-belts are ubiquitous and vital for proper functionality.
