What is a Car Timing Belt?

[MacNolan]

An automotive timing belt is a drive belt used to control the timing of valve operation. During normal engine operation, it continuously rotates to synchronize the movement of pistons, the opening and closing of valves, and the ignition sequence under the coordinated action of timing. More details about timing belts are as follows: 1. The internal components of an engine timing belt consist of six parts: the timing belt itself, timing belt tensioner, guide pulley, intake camshaft pulley, exhaust camshaft pulley, and crankshaft pulley. 2. Compared to chain-driven engines, timing belt transmission produces less noise and operates more smoothly. Additionally, the maintenance cost for timing belts is significantly lower than that for chain-driven engines.
