Why does my timing belt break, crack or delaminate?

Update Time:2026/6/18
The most common causes are wrong tension, poor pulley alignment, overload, unsuitable material, high temperature, sharp contact points or weak joint quality.

If the belt breaks at the joint, it may mean the joint strength is not enough for your application. In this case, a vulcanized timing belt may be a better solution.

If the tooth surface wears quickly, you should check whether the pulley is worn or whether the belt tooth profile matches the pulley.

If the belt edge is damaged, the machine may have alignment problems or side friction.

If the surface coating falls off, the coating material may not match the product, temperature or cleaning method.

You can send GOODLY photos of the broken belt and machine position. We can help check the possible reason and recommend a better belt structure.
