A Guide to Handling and Maintenance of optibelt omega

A Guide to Handling and Maintenance of optibelt omega

The original timing belt from Optibelt was designed and produced to exceed expectations. It all begins with the fiberglass cords, which efficiently transport more electricity to where it's needed. For a smooth, non-biased run, the cords are counter-wrapped. The designed natural and synthetic rubber core is bonded to a strong rubber-impregnated polyamide fabric that promotes durability and oil resistance. Optibelt omega timing belts are rubber belts with teeth situated inside the engine, and they, like the engine itself, require oil lubrication. The timing chain is utilized every time the engine is started and fits regular HTD, RPP, and MR pulleys, so you don't have to replace your existing pulleys. The advantages of Optibelt are as follows.

  1. High precision
  2. Maintenance-free
  3. For HTD and RPP pulleys
  4. Efficiency up to 98%
  5. Enhanced low-noise characteristics through OMEGA tooth form
  6. Temperature range -30°C to +100°C
  7. Fiberglass cord

Optibelt OMEGA timing belts have been designed for utilization in high-performance drives. The drive speed is transmitted synchronously, that is, without loss of speed, and at a constant transmission ratio. The Optibelt OMEGA teeth profile lowers the running noise dramatically. The teeth are shaped such that it fits properly into the pulley teeth with the least amount of friction. HTD and RPP pulleys are compatible and will run with Optibelt OMEGA timing belts. This post includes all of the necessary instructions for using the belt. Furthermore, we have also discussed the working of the HTD profile and the OMEGA profile and a brief discussion about them. The belt features described may alter due to various influences.

 

The HTD profile is a curved round profile with a smoother run than trapezoidal teeth and improved skip protection due to the increased tooth height. "High torque drive" is the profile's designation. It was created for today's highly loaded drives, primarily used in power drives that cannot be equipped with chloroprene timing belts in the HTD or OMEGA profile due to chemical loads. Because the HTD profile has a wide tooth width at the tooth base, it offers a strong tooth shear resistance and a high permitted specific tooth force. In addition, despite the slightly greater tooth clearance for power drives, HTD profile timing belts are used in linear drives with higher running noise requirements.

The tooth heads of the pulleys' tooth system rest on the belt webs between the teeth. Depending on the product group, double profile timing belts in the D5M and D8M profiles are available. In transport applications, considerable surface pressure is produced at the contact with a support rail due to the round tooth form and tiny contact area. As a result, due to the negative wear behavior at the tooth head, the HTD profile cannot be suggested, because of the unfavorable wear behavior at the tooth head.

Bolton Engineering Products brings in a range of optibelt omega high-performance timing belts for heavily loaded, high-speed drives.
