Belt Drives Timing Tooth Width

Belt Drives engine timing belts, also called cam belts or toothed timing belts, keep the crankshaft and camshaft(s) turning in precise synchronization. That keeps valve timing accurate. Many engines also use the belt to drive ancillary components such as the water pump or fuel injection pump.

Key Features:

• Toothed belt design that engages the pulleys positively, so it does not slip
• Reinforced construction for strength and dimensional stability under load
• Built as a direct replacement for the original belt in the applications it is made for
• Available in a range of tooth counts and belt widths to match different engine designs

Timing belts are a scheduled maintenance item. Replace the belt at the interval the engine manufacturer specifies. It is good practice to replace the tensioner, idler pulleys and water pump (where belt-driven) at the same time. Choose the variant that matches the tooth count and width required for your application.
