What is the difference between HTD and GT belts?
In a generic sense, the HTD profile is a larger and fuller profile than the PowerGrip GT profile. The PowerGrip GT profile is generally shaped more like a gear tooth for improved entry-exit qualities, but still has a round bottom.
What is the full form of HTD?
Abbreviation : HTD HTD – Heat Transfer Division.
Can I use HTD belt with GT2 pulley?
According to Gates, it will work, but is not recommended. They will have a reduced torque rating. They also say not to use HTD belts on GT2 sprockets.
How do I choose a timing belt?
How to Design a Timing Belt
- Determine the peak torque for your drive.
- Determine the largest pulley diameters that can be utilised, considering the space limitations and drive ratio of your system.
- Select the belt tooth profile (contact us for advice if required).
- Calculate the teeth in mesh (T.I.M.)

What do the numbers mean on a timing belt?
On metric sizes the number is how wide the timing belt is in millimeters. On standard sizes the number breaks down in inches with a leading zero for sizes under an inch such as: 012=0.125″, 025=0.25″, 037=0.375″, 050=0.500″, 075=0.75″, 100=1.00″, 150=1.50″, 200=2.00″, and 300=3.00″
What are the types of timing belts?
Timing belts are available in two sizes: in metric (millimetres) and imperial (inches) dimensions. The profile of the inner teeth of the belt which goes over the outer teeth of the pulley is the second most important factor. The most common forms are the trapezoidal and round tooth shape.
What is the difference between GT2 and GT3 belt?
The GT3 belt has a virtually identical performance as the GT2. They’re the same size, are available in the same widths, and have matching tooth profiles. Both belts match to the same pulleys which means there is no need to go back and redesign or rework any component. Changing from GT2 to GT3 is seamless.
How to identify a timing belt?
– Disconnect the negative battery cable. – Remove the accessory drive belts. – Remove the timing belt covers. – Identify the timing belt running direction to avoid reversal during installation. – Loosen timing belt tensioner bolt and remove timing belt. – Remove the crankshaft sprocket flange.
Is it hard to replace a timing belt?
Timing belt replacement should be left to the pros. It can be complicated to replace the timing belt on most engines, especially those with dual camshafts or lots of drive accessories that need to be removed. In many cases, special tools are needed to correctly install a timing belt. Plus, other parts may need replacing.
How tight should the timing belt be?
Numerical Method (Force/Deflection) By measuring the deflection of the timing belt with a known force the required tension can be applied.
How hard is it to change the timing belt?
Every 60k-90k miles. If an engine is equipped with a timing belt,the timing belt must be replaced at the service interval specified by the vehicle manufacturer regardless of whether
