Since founded in 1997 as “Huayu Rubber Belt Factory”, Xingtai Guanpin Rubber Products Co., Ltd has been specializing in the designing and manufacturing of quality after-market V-belt, pk belt, timing belt, etc. belts, for more than 2 decades. Over many years we have gained very good knowledge of the effect that the characteristics of the timing belt (material grip, construction, fitment and longevity) have on its overall reliability in vehicle use. In addition to confirming the part number, you must also select the right timing belt based on its fit for your customer's based on its construction, its materials, precision manufacturing, and after-sales service.
Understand the Critical Role of the Timing Belt
Before choosing a timing belt, it is essential to know what it is. A timing belt or toothed belt is unlike accessory belts which drive an alternator or air conditioning compressor, but rather, is used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. This allows the engine intake and exhaust valves to open and close at the proper time, in relation to the motion of the pistons. Such lack of synchronization can cause considerable engine damage such as bent valves or even destroyed pistons.
A timing belt needs to be exceptionally dimensionally stable and strong for this reason. Our Timing Belt products are created to keep their tooth profile under extreme heat and high speed between the pulleys and belt without losing the “positive engagement” between the belt teeth and pulleys throughout the belt's service life at Guanpin. First and foremost is to choose a belt that ensures this synchronization for any type of market.
Evaluate Rubber and Rope Materials
The components that make up the timing belt directly affects its performance, lifespan and durability against harsh under-hood environments. The rubber product should be oil resistant, temperature resistant, ozone resistant, and abrasion resistant, and the tension rope (usually fiberglass or high strength polyester) should be strong enough to not stretch when loaded.
Today's timing belts are constructed of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, which is more heat-resistant than the previous generation of neoprene rubber, and therefore has a longer service life. At Guanpin, rubber materials and rope materials can be completely customized according to customers' needs. That is, if your industry requires high or low temperature resistance, or heavier dimensional strength, we can design the belt's construction to fit that criteria.
Check Precision, Fit, and Custom Branding
The timing belt is a precision-machined part. Noise, vibration, and early failure may be caused by even the smallest deviations from tooth pitch, tooth width, backside thickness. For the belt you select for your market, check to see that the belt is OEM equivalent. When properly installed, the belt will fit tightly with the cam and crankshaft sprockets, and there is no danger of the cam teeth jumping or misalignment.
Another major factor in distributors' and retailers' decision is branding. In many regional markets a brand name can be a plus attribute to the trust and loyalty. Guanpin assists our partners with the approved logos of our customers and also customization of our brands. Printing and cutting strictly according to the requirements of the customer, including the appearance colour of the product, the label etc. That can be achieved by our 26 years of expertise in manufacturing, we will be supplying and supporting your timing belts with your brand name.
Prioritize Supplier Reliability and After-Sales Support
The top quality belt is not worth anything if it doesn't arrive on time or is not adequately supported or delivered by the time you need it. When choosing a timing belt supplier for your market, you should take into account the manufacturing experience they have, their quality control process and their after sales service. For Guanpin, we could always take pride in our perfect technology ,solid quality and rational prices. We are excited to work with you!
