Factors and treatment methods for edge wear of timing belt
There may be many reasons for the edge (side) wear of the timing belt. Here are some of the main factors:
1. Timing pulley are not parallel: When the timing pulleys are not parallel, it will cause the timing belt to experience additional friction during operation, thus accelerating edge wear.
2. Insufficient stiffness of the bearing part: If the stiffness of the bearing part is insufficient, it will cause the timing belt to vibrate during operation, causing edge wear.
3. The timing belt comes into contact with the transmission baffle or bracket: If the timing belt comes into contact with the transmission baffle or bracket during operation, it may also cause edge wear.
4. Back-up ring problem: If the back-up ring is curved or has a rough surface, it may also cause edge wear of the timing belt.
5. Timing belt overload operation: When the timing belt is overloaded, excessive tension will be generated, causing the timing belt to slip, causing edge wear.
In view of the above factors, we can take the following treatment methods:
1. Adjust the parallelism of the timing pulleys: Ensure that the timing pulleys are parallel to reduce the friction of the timing belt, thereby reducing the speed of edge wear.
2. Increase the stiffness of the bearing parts: By increasing the stiffness of the bearing parts, the vibration of the timing belt during operation can be reduced, thereby reducing edge wear.
3. Correct or replace the retaining ring: If the retaining ring is bent or has a rough surface, it should be corrected or replaced in time to reduce wear on the edge of the timing belt.
4. Check and adjust the transmission baffle or bracket: Make sure the timing belt does not come into contact with the transmission baffle or bracket during operation to reduce edge wear.
5. Adjust the tension and avoid overload operation: Reasonably adjust the tension of the timing belt and avoid overload operation to reduce edge wear caused by sliding.
