Timing belts perform a vital function in many of today's machines. They are a part of

internal combustion engine, the 'beating heart' of a machine.

A timing belt, timing chain or cam belt is a part of an internal combustion engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s) so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. A timing belt usually features teeth on the inside surface, while a timing chain is a roller chain.

In some engines a timing belt can also drive additional components such as a water pump, balance shaft, intermediate shaft, injection pump and an oil pump.

When a timing belt is replaced, it's very important to set the timing properly. Before a new timing belt is installed, the crankshaft, the camshaft and other components must be aligned in a certain way. Improperly set timing will cause a variety of problems such as lack of power. 

The car you drive also may have a timing belt – though newer cars use a timing chain instead of a belt. A timing belt wears out over time and needs to be replaced at a certain mileage. A timing chain can last as long as the engine itself and doesn't need to be replaced unless there is a problem with it.

A timing belt must be replaced as recommended by the manufacturer. You can find the recommended replacement interval in your owner's manual. In addition, the timing belt must be replaced if it has any damage like cracks, cuts, if it is soaked in oil leaking from the engine, or if it shows any signs of excessive wear. If not replaced in time, the timing belt can break.

If a timing belt breaks, the engine will no longer work. It may also result in heavy damage to the engine and the engine will stall, leaving you stranded.

Many people are confused by a timing belt. Not every engine has one, but those that do require replacement at a specific mileage or time interval. Timing belts offer a number of advantages, such as less weight and precise timing over their lives. The timing belt is also far less affected by lubrication problems than a chain or gear drive.

Timing belts are made of very durable rubber, with layers of cord to prevent stretching. This arrangement provides years of trouble-free service and precise valve timing.  Eventually the rubber and cords begin to deteriorate.  It is essential to replace the timing belt for this reason.  The recommended replacement interval for a timing belt varies, depending on several factors.

In the life of a timing belt, time is perhaps more important than miles. Seven years is the maximum life of the timing belt, recommended by most car manufacturers.

PIX Transmissions make timing belts for several applications. These belts are known for their flexibility and durability.

PIX-TopCoat® Timing Belt comes with a profile

top rubber. This top profile rubber is designed to meet specific applications and it is available in different hardness (ranging from soft rubber profile with low hardness, to regular hardness rubber profile).

Applications:

•  PIX-TopCoat Timing Belt opens up new segment of market in packaging industry and lighter material carrying applications where power transmission is made with the help of timing belt.

•  Belt with soft profile top rubber is used for conveying lighter and fragile materials where no scratches are desirable like in shampoo sachet making, wafer manufacturing industry and bottling plants.

•  Belt with regular profile top rubber is used in wire drawing and cable industries for giving support in take-up caterpillar and other similar operations in manufacturing industries .
