Metric and imperial timing belts – what is the difference?
I regularly notice that our customers find it difficult to determine the correct type of timing belt. In this blog, I will attempt to break down the basic differences of size and structure. Timing belts are available in two measurements: metric (mm) and imperial (inch).
