Timing chain

Engines in cars, trucks and many other types of equipment require a series of components that must work well together. One key component is the timing chain. It’s a solid metal belt that connects two crucial parts in the engine. The vehicle timing belt chain makes certain that the engine’s valves open and close as they should. If it goes well, the engine hums along powerfully and smoothly. If things don’t go as planned, the engine may emit some odd noises, lose power or stop completely. Timing chains generally don’t wear out as quickly as other parts, but they must be strong and well-made nonetheless. We know how important it is for the timing chain to be constructed with high quality, that's why we utilize the best materials and are constantly developing new products to make sure our customer’s engines are running at their optimum level. 

A timing chain is a metal chain that connects the crankshaft and camshaft of an engine. These two pieces must move in concert, to ensure that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper time. Think of them more as dancers in a choreographed number: If any one of them gets out of step, the entire show collapses. The crankshaft spins due to the engine’s pistons going up and down. The valves, which let air into the cylinders and push exhaust out, are operated by the camshaft. The timing chain ensures that these two components move in perfect time. You can’t run the engine properly without this link. Belts can be found in some engines as opposed to chains, but the latter last longer and tolerate high heat better. Timing chains, constructed of the same metal as those typical gear systems, will not have flat teeth and are much shorter in overall tensile length. But if the chain stretches or breaks, the engine can be ruined. That’s why a timing chain needs to be carefully constructed and regularly check. At tenfront we make timing chains that don't stretch and break. Our chains do a good job keeping engines going for a long time. We put them through a lot of tests to ensure they will withstand the hardest conditions. When you install a tenfront gear timing belt chain, have confidence it will protect your engine - and get ready to get ready.

What Is a Timing Chain and Why Is It Essential for Your Engine

To a company in need of lots of timing chains, finding a good supplier is key. When you’re stocking in volume like that, what you want is chains that work well and don’t create problems down the line. Some growers, for example, may offer cheap chains that break quickly, a costly potential trouble. We get it - you can't trust just anyone to supply your timing chain tensioners, that's why we manufacture ours with care and quality in mind. Our factory utilizes grand big machines and strict tests to ensure that every chain is smooth, strong and perfect. We also listen to our customer to keep pace with what they want. No matter you require small or bulk order, we can deliver on time and help your save cost. Some companies need custom sizes or specialty materials, and we do that as well. Our team works around the clock to help you before and after your purchase. We don’t want to be just a vendor, we want to be a partner in your success. Picking tenfront is picking chains that live longer and engines that run better. Knowing who to believe when it comes to suppliers can be challenging, with tenfront you know you are getting the best. We are so proud of every single product we have made. Because we know how important your machines is and your success. 

The timing chain is a crucial piece of equipment inside a car’s engine. It assists to maintain the engine’s parts functioning collectively the ideal way. If the timing chain functions perfectly, the engine will run very smoothly. But chains, too, may have trouble at times. Here is a frequently encountered damage which is when the chain become slack. The chain can also stretch or wear over time. In that situation, the engine may produce a rattling sound, especially when you start the car. Another issue is if the timing chain breaks or jumps a few teeth. This may make the engine run poorly or even quit. If the timing chain snaps while you’re driving, it can cause serious damage.
