  A timing belt is a type of cogged belt, often composed of reinforced rubber, that drives the camshaft in an internal combustion engine. Also known as a timing chain or a cam belt, it is a component of an internal combustion engine that controls the timing of the valves. Some engines use timing gears instead of belts.   The phrase "timing belt" also refers to any flat belt with teeth integrated into it. Timing belts are used for power transmission or to convert rotational motion to linear motion.  In such instances, either large loads or keeping a precise drive ratio are critical.  Rubber timing belts are commonly used in linear positioning systems outside of automobiles. What does a rubber timing belt do?  The cam belt or timing belt controls the timing of the internal combustion engine.  The camshaft governs the timing of the valves, which are driven by the cam belt from the crankshaft.  Small slots on the belt connect the cambelt to the shaft...

The right belt can also help increase profit margins, streamline your assembly line, and contribute to company growth in unexpected ways. To get you started, below are the eight main types of conveyor belts and their uses . 1. Roller Bed Conveyor Belts. As the name implies, the surface of this type of PVC conveyor belt is made up of rollers chosen to meet production needs, such as the weight or needed speed of the items that will travel down the belt. Shorter conveyor belts of this type can have only two rollers. However, as the distance between the two ends of the belt rises, so will the amount of tension required for the belt to work. A roller bed configuration is appropriate for gra...
