La mayor\u00eda de los motores de combusti\u00f3n interna equipan una correa de distribuci\u00f3n o una cadena de distribuci\u00f3n. Que un coche utilice uno u otro sistema puede ser un argumento a favor o en contra a la hora de comprar un coche. Aunque, como veremos m\u00e1s adelante, no es un elemento tan determinante como anta\u00f1o.
Cadena vs correa de distribuci\u00f3n: diferencias, pros y contras
La cadena de distribuci\u00f3n es una cl\u00e1sica cadena met\u00e1lica de eslabones que recuerda a la de cualquier bicicleta, pero mucho m\u00e1s robusta y de mayor grosor. En cambio la correa de distribuci\u00f3n es una tira fabricada de caucho, goma y diversos materiales sint\u00e9ticos que, en su cara interior, tiene un estriado para acoplarse a las poleas que sustituyen a los pi\u00f1ones de los sistemas con cadena.
Cabe destacar que todos los motores, ya sean los que equipan cadena o correa de distribuci\u00f3n, llevan al menos una correa para elementos auxiliares, como el aire acondicionado y el alternador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Una de las principales diferencias entre correa y cadena de distribuci\u00f3n es el desgaste continuo que sufre la correa con el paso del tiempo la correa. Se recomienda cambiarla cada cierto tiempo, entre 80.000 km y 120.000 km, seg\u00fan el fabricante.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
