There is a limitless variety of industrial machine uses for belt drives, but in addition to that, there are also several everyday things that can explain a lot about the fundamentals and applications of belt drives. There is a large variety of equipment that we use on a daily basis, and among those devices are synchronous timing belts of different sorts.

When trying to get a good grasp on how the Optibelt OMEGA timing belt operates, it is often helpful to look at how they are used in common pieces of machinery. This helps one get a more practical understanding of the various kinds of industrial automation applications that belt drives can be used for.

Optibelt OMEGA

The high-performance timing belt known as the Optibelt OMEGA is developed especially to meet the requirements of motors subjected to significant shock loads and satisfy the most stringent of standards. The dynamic testing demonstrates a performance improvement of up to thirty percent compared to the rest. The unique construction of the cable assures that it will maintain its strength even when subjected to medium or high-impact loads. Belt noise is greatly reduced thanks to the optimized tooth design that features an indented tip.

Benefits

The advantages of a timing belt are:

• High accuracy and little maintenance required
• Suitable for both HTD and RPP pulleys
• Effectiveness reaching up to 98%
• Characteristics of reduced noise made possible by the OMEGA tooth shape
• Temperature range -30°C to +100°C
• Cord made of fiberglass

Applications

Drive applications that require the highest level of performance have optibelt OMEGA HP high-performance power transmission timing belts built specifically for them. Because of its superior structure, the optibelt OMEGA HP possesses resilience and performance qualities that are significantly higher than those of traditional timing belts. The strength required for heavy industrial applications is provided by cords made of fiberglass and a core of aramid-blended fiber rubber.
