Advantages of the TRITAN®-coating
The task of the chain tensioner is to tension the timing chain in all operating conditions and to intercept unwanted vibrations even if wear elongation of the chain has occurred due to engine operation.
Quality is of enormous importance with this important component. This is why chain stretchers are precisely manufactured by bilstein group Engineering. Part of our chain stretchers are manufactured in our in-house production near the company headquaters in Germany on modern, CNC machines.
This ensures quality "Made in Germay".
Check of surrounding components
All engine timing components are exactly calculated. Years of development and experience are put into every system to ensure that the engine timing and its components are exactly matched to each other in all speed and load ranges. Driving comfort, consumption and emission values must not be ignored. Wear and tear on the components of the engine timing system can lead to noise, in the worst case even to engine damage.
Higher compression in the combustion chamber, more precise injection times and higher torques have increased engine timing loads. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the engine timing during repair and maintenance work in the workshop. The specifications and procedures of the vehicle manufacturers must be observed with all repairs.
In addition to checking the timing belt or chain, the complexity of modern engines requires the maintenance of all adjacent components which directly interfere with the control process. With chain control, for example, these are sliding rails, chain stretchers, oil and sprockets. These components must not be disregarded in the preparation of repair calculations.
febi offers the right wear parts, which are needed for competently and safely executed repairs on modern engine management systems.
Timing belts combine the characteristics of a timing chain and an auxiliary belt (flat belt). On the inside of the belt, teeth are formed from abrasion-resistant rubber or plastic, which engage in a special gearwheel. This construction has the following advantages compared to V-ribbed or flat belts:
Ferdinand Bilstein offers a wide range of timing belts, including timing belt sets and suitable accessories.
To avoid damage to the timing belt, febi bilstein recommends the following:
For storage:
For installation:
Meanwhile, there are even timing belts, which no longer perform their work dry outside the engine housing, but that run in the oil in the engine housing. This new technology comes into effect for the oil pump drive, for example, in the Ford 1.0l Eco Boost Engine, Peugeot 1.2 Vti and VW EA288 1.6/2.0 TDI vehicles.
Advantages:
When replacing the timing chain or belt, the surrounding components should also be tested for wear.
In order for all parts to work together perfectly, it is extremely important that they are made accurately and from high-quality materials.
febi offers complete timing chains and belts for certain types of vehicles, which contain all the required parts for a professional exchange.
