If the tension of the timing belt is not sufficient, the friction force will also be insufficient, resulting in slipping. This increases the wear of the timing belt, reduces its ability to transmit loads, and destabilizes the power transmission, rendering the belt drive ineffective.
If the timing belt is subjected to excessive tension, it will experience severe deformation, reducing its service life.
If the timing belt is contaminated with substances such as oil and grease, the chemical components in these substances can enter the timing belt and damage its material structure.
If the timing belt pulleys are not properly aligned, it can cause slipping, distortion, and internal heat generation and wear in the timing belt. Therefore, it is essential to align the timing belt pulleys.
