When it comes to accessory and drive belts, can you tell a V-belt from a ribbed belt, serpentine belt, or timing belt? We clarify appearance, function, and typical location of each type.

Yes, it’s as much a matter of patience as it is mechanical knowledge. Depending on the engine there’s a whole bunch of stuff that needs to come off first, and then be put back on when you are done. You need to be sure the engine is in the right position BEFORE removing the belt. There are timing mar

Fractional horsepower v-belts 4L and 5L (FHP) can be interchanged to the equivalent “Classical” A or B v-belt. You can also use AX or BX notched style v-belts. Notched v-belts are about 3% more efficient than wrapped style v-belts.While A and B belts can be an excellent upgrade and substitute for 4

The global rubber transmission belts market was valued at around US$ 5 Bn in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.16% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report titled ‘Rubber Transmission Belts Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,’ pub

Machine can be defined as the cluster of mechanisms that can perform certain task by expanding energy. Majority of the machines are driven be mechanical power, which is nothing but torque of rotational shaft. A prime mover is used to convert other form of energy to mechanical energy. For example, an

A timing belt is a toothed belt that connects the engine crankshaft to the camshaft or camshafts as you can see in the picture. A timing belt synchronizes the camshaft to the crankshaft position, so the valves will open and close at the proper timing in relation to
