timing belt versus serpentine belt

When referring to belts in machinery, there are two general kinds of belts: timing belts and serpentine belts. Each belt has a particular purpose for how a machine functions. Timing belts are a critical component that synchronizes the movement of an engine's camshaft and crankshaft and ensures that an engine's valves open and close at the proper times. While serpentine belts, on the other hand, drive numerous accessories in an engine like the alternator, power steering pump, and AC compressor.
