Rubber is an important component of the synchronous belt drive, and the aging process of rubber products is always in progress. In the normal working environment, the transmission belt can achieve an ideal life, and in practical use and maintenance, we are likely to affect the service life of the transmission belt due to improper disposal.

So the rubber belt and how to maintain it?

1 ambient temperature factor:

For the modern engine, the engine compartment layout, compact, high compression ratio, some models of configuration of the turbocharger and so on, which will improve the engine compartment temperature makes the synchronous belt work environment is bad. The experimental results show that the service life of the drive synchronous belt decreases sharply with the increase of the ambient temperature.

In the hot summer days when you ignore the pointer to the water temperature table, not only is the damage to your engine is also accelerating the consumption of your drive synchronous belt life.

2 transmission system factors:

Transmission rubber synchronous belt to the transmission system is very high, the same transmission plane of the components of the same surface and coaxial directly affect the life of the transmission belt. In the whole transmission plane, only the transmission rubber synchronous belt belongs to rubber parts, and the rubber synchronous belt with the exception of any part can seriously damage the transmission synchronous belt. After long time running of the transmission end face, the same surface degree or the coaxial degree of the original end member may be destroyed due to the wear and tear.

3 the impact of foreign body splash

Because of the complexity of vehicle driving conditions, most likely in the external environment make the poor driving synchronous belt or synchronous belt wheel on the splashing into the foreign body, foreign body in the high-speed operation state, it is like a knife in the cutting stop belt will quickly lead to the damage of the timing belt drive. Please check the transmission system in a timely manner to check whether there is a foreign body in the harsh environment!

4 factors of lubricating oil:

Similarly, the same as the lubricating oil will accelerate the aging process of rubber synchronous belt.

Therefore, when removing and installing drive synchronous belt, if your hands are stained with grease, wipe clean and then operate!

Remember, do not put the drive timing belt is placed in the oil!!

If you drive a synchronous belt accidentally stained with oil, please be careful to use, it is best to be replaced immediately.

5 bending of rubber synchronous belt

Cord is also an important part of the synchronous belt, it will cause the attenuation of synchronous belt tension under the small bending radius! Especially when the timing synchronization belt: because of its cord is made of glass fiber, glass fiber, more fragile, this line even in a very small bending radius will cause the serious attenuation of synchronous belt tension. So it is forbidden to bend too much time! If the synchronous belt in very small bending radius, should be wrapped in round bar to avoid occurrence of acute angle bending synchronous belt.

6 mounting tension:

For the accessory belt, it is realized by using the friction between the two sides of the synchronous belt and the synchronous belt wheel.

Therefore, the installation tension will directly affect the transmission belt using state: if the slip tension is too small will cause the belt slipping, not only increased the belt on both sides of the sliding wear and heat generated by the accumulation of aging will accelerate the process of the belt; if the installation tension is too large, will likely lead to the delamination and the loss of the belt the ability to work. Please note that in strict accordance with the manufacturer's installation requirements for the installation of tension! Please check regularly, adjust the size of the belt tension to keep the tension in the specified range! Please pay attention to the operation of the end face parts regularly!

7 is strictly prohibited in the demolition, installation of belt in the process of using the tool to pry the drive belt.

8 transmission belt storage recommendations

You should keep in storage temperature between -15~40 DEG C, relative humidity should be between 50%~80%.

Or during storage and transportation, should avoid direct sunlight or rain leaching, keep clean, prevent the quality of rubber material contact with acid, alkali, oil and organic solvent effect.

It should be avoided during storage of the belt to put too much weight and deformation, prevent mechanical damage, not too bending and extrusion.
