when should a transmission belt be replaced?

Things used in life are usually old, especially auto parts. They will wear out after a long time. After wear, there will be some problems in operation. when should a transmission belt be replaced?

when should a transmission belt be replaced

The automobile transmission belt is divided into engine belt and timing belt. The replacement time is generally after 60000 km or 2 years of operation.

The engine transmission belt will break after being used for a long time, which will lead to the failure of the air conditioning system, power steering system and power generation system of the vehicle, and the fracture of the timing belt will lead to the damage of the valve and piston. The automobile drive belt is the power generated by the motor or engine of the prime mover, which is transmitted to the mechanical equipment through the pulley. It is the core connecting part of the electromechanical equipment and has a wide range of uses. Some machinery such as household appliances, computers, robots and so on cannot be separated from the drive belt.

Why should the transmission belt be replaced regularly

The reason why the transmission belt should be replaced regularly is that the transmission belt is a rubber product, which is easy to age and cause serious mechanical accidents. In addition, if the drive belt breaks or slips, it will damage the mechanical parts under certain circumstances. The following describes the impact of the broken drive belt:

1. Determine the replacement cycle according to the mileage: the transmission belt is a consumable, and once the transmission belt is broken, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which is very likely to cause damage caused by the impact of the valve and piston, so the transmission belt should be replaced according to the mileage distance or time.

2. The service life is shorter than that of metal gears: the transmission belt is an important part of the engine system. It ensures the accuracy of the intake and exhaust time by connecting with the crankshaft and cooperating with a certain transmission. The use of the transmission belt instead of the gear to drive is because the transmission belt has a small sound, small change and is easy to compensate, so the service life of the transmission belt is shorter than that of the gear, Therefore, it is necessary to replace the transmission belt regularly.

The drive belt is an important part of the automobile. If you do not pay attention to the use rules of the drive belt, it is also a kind of damage to the machinery. We have seen many cases of machine damage due to broken transmission belt in our daily life, so it is necessary to replace the transmission belt regularly.
