Timing Belt and its Application in automobiles

There are some rubber products that you can’t live without. One of them is the timing belt. The timing belt was introduced in the 1960s. It is made of rubber and has hard teeth. It is present in the internal combustion engine of vehicles and it is an important part for an engine to run. Its function is to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft to enable the pistons and valves of vehicles operate properly. This will help in making the vehicle run smoothly.

Replacing the belt on time is another point you must focus on. After your car or any other automobile runs 60,000-100,000 miles, you should consider getting it replaced. Like custom molded rubber products like gaskets and seals (AS 568 O Rings), a timing belt is also a made from rubber. That is why it will get worn down with time. Upon breaking the engine will not run and your work will come to a standstill. It can result in damage to the different parts of the engine. Not changing the belt on time can cost you a hefty amount later. You may even have to get your vehicle’s engine replaced.

There are several companies that not only manufacture good quality timing belts, but also oil seal, vibration mounts and conveyor belts. One among them is Lusida rubber products.

The timing belt is a rubber product which is an integral part of the internal combustion engine of vehicles. It helps the engine run and you have to get it replaced periodically.
