What is the Difference Between a V-Belt and a Timing Belt?
1 Answers
V-belts and timing belts differ in the following ways: Differences in intake and exhaust: The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system. It connects to the crankshaft and operates at a specific transmission ratio to ensure the accuracy of intake and exhaust timing. Differences in transmission capability: A V-belt is a ring-shaped transmission belt with longitudinal trapezoidal wedges spaced at 40-degree intervals on its inner circumference. The working surface of the belt is the side of the wedge. The contact area and friction between the multi-V belt and the pulley are relatively large, and the load is distributed more evenly along the width of the belt. As a result, the multi-V belt has greater transmission capability.
