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 />

Rim flanges defective or not bevelled<br />

Damage due to incorrect handling<br />

<strong>Timing</strong> belt too wide<br />

Premature tooth wear Initial tension too high or too low<br />

Belt runs off over rim flange<br />

Incorrect belt profile for timing belt pulley<br />

Worn timing belt pulley<br />

<strong>Timing</strong> belt pulley surface too rough<br />

Overload<br />

Excessive damage due to foreign objects<br />

Shearing of belt teeth Not enough teeth meshing<br />

Overload of drive system<br />

Worn timing belt pulley<br />

Incorrect belt profile for timing belt pulley<br />

Insufficient belt tension<br />

Extreme shock loads<br />

Broken belt <strong>Timing</strong> belt pulley diameter too small<br />

Overload of drive system<br />

Foreign objects<br />

Incorrect handling of timing belt during installation,<br />

belt damaged from kinking or bending<br />

Abnormal wear of<br />

timing belt pulley (outer<br />

diameter or tooth flanks)<br />

Increased belt tension or overload<br />

of drive system<br />

<strong>Timing</strong> belt pulley diameter too small<br />

Incorrect profile<br />

Foreign objects<br />
