Toothed Belt (aka Timing Belt) Also called timing belts, notched belts and synchronous belts, the toothed belt has a lengthways cross-section resembling a series of V-shaped belts lying atop a flat belt, hence ‘toothed’. These specific belts Rubber v-belts have a large amount of base tensile strength and flexibility. This is what ultimately allows them to have such a diverse range of applications. Because they can suit a series of different machines, they’re a great product to fall back on for any general needs. It’s also important to note that their soft, malleable nature W. wrecksinator Discussion starter. 34 posts · Joined 2017. #1 · May 3, 2021. I’m changing the timing belt on my 99 crv. OEM parts (belt, tensioner, water pump, crank seal) are almost $300. Aftermarket are under $100. I don’t know much about parts, so buying oem would give me piece of mind. Imho timing chains are better than belts purely for the reason you generally don't need to change them unless something else goes wrong, like a tensioner going out. The only thing I prefer belts for is quieter operation as well as soaking up harmonic frequencies between the crank and camshaft (s). 2. More common in new designs are rounded profiles carry more load than belts with trapezoidal teeth. The belts do this in two ways: 1) They have inherently higher tooth shear strength and they 2) More evenly spread load over the belt’s tensile cords. Generic labels for synchronous belts with round-profile teeth are variations on the term high Changing the timing belt 12 Timing hcains 1 3 Timing belt drive components 14 Idlers and guide pulleys 15 onenT i sers 1 6 Wer pat umps 1 8 V-belts and multi V-belts 22 nognha, i i Funnct dl 2 3 Design, materials, profiles 24 s V-t –bel – multi V-belts – Elastic multi V-belts Maintenance and replacement 30 .
