Problems Causes Remedies<br />
Excessive wear on the loaded<br />
face of the belt tooth<br />
Excessive wear on the land<br />
between the belt teeth<br />
Exceptional wear on the<br />
belt sides<br />
Belt teeth shear off<br />
Excessive lateral runout<br />

Correct the tension<br />
Check the belt section, replace, if necessary<br />
Use wider belts with higher power<br />
transmission capacity<br />
Reduce the tension<br />
Increase the width of the timing belt or<br />
increase the diameter of the timing<br />
pulleys<br />
Replace timing pulleys<br />
Realign shafts<br />
Replace flanged pulleys<br />
Reinforce bearings and/or housing<br />
Increase diameter of the small pulley<br />
or choose a wider belt<br />
Use a wider belt or larger pulleys<br />
Realign shafts<br />
Realign the pulleys<br />
Reduce the belt tension<br />
Realign the pulleys<br />
Realign shafts<br />
Install flanged pulleys correctly<br />
Correct the belt tension<br />
Reinforce and secure bearing mountings<br />
Realign shafts<br />
Reduce the tension<br />
Enlarge pulley diameter<br />
Increase belt width and/or<br />
teeth in mesh<br />
Reduce belt width by redesigning<br />
using heavier belt section<br />
Use a stronger material<br />
Replace timing pulleys<br />
Use harder material or<br />
harden the surface<br />
Choose an extra heat resistant belt<br />
quality<br />
