timing belt tool

A toothed belt is a reinforced rubber belt that has teeth or cogs on its inner surface. It is designed to fit into corresponding grooves on the pulley systems of an engine. The primary function of the toothed belt is to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. This synchronization is crucial because it governs the timing of the opening and closing of engine valves in relation to the movement of the pistons. This precise coordination allows the engine to operate smoothly and efficiently, directly impacting performance and fuel efficiency.

Flat belt drives consist of a simple flat belt that runs on pulleys. This design allows for a smooth and flexible operation, making it possible to transmit power over long distances. Flat belts are typically made from materials such as rubber, fabric, or leather, and they rely on friction to transfer motion from the driving pulley to the driven pulley. The key advantages of flat belt drives include their ability to operate at high speeds and the capacity to handle light loads efficiently.
