Causes of malfunctions<br />
Fault Cause Solution<br />
Excessive noise levels Misalignment of pulleys<br />
Excessive belt tension<br />
Overload of drive system<br />
Worn timing belt pulley<br />
Incorrect pulley profile<br />
Rim flange stop face too large<br />
Air displacement in hollows<br />
Visible belt elongation Reduction of centre distance of axes due to loosening of<br />
the shaft bearings or timing belt pulley mounting<br />
Pulley wear (outer diameter)<br />
Overload of drive system<br />
Heat-up and subsequent cooling of drive system<br />
Excessive change in the timing belt material<br />
(melting, softening)<br />
Belt runs off to side Belt runs off the side of the timing belt pulley<br />
Excessive wear on side of belt<br />
Loosening of rim flanges Misalignment of pulleys, resulting in excessive axial forces Align pulleys<br />
Excessive wear on side<br />
of belt<br />
Incorrect axis parallelism or change in the centre<br />
distance of axes due to insufficient strength of<br />
bearings and axles<br />
