OMEGA High-Performance Timing Belt Series

The OMEGA series from Optibelt is a range of high-performance timing belts that use a curvilinear tooth profile to transmit high torque and reduce noise, with long service life. Synchronous belts have teeth that mesh with the pulley so that there is no slip, which allows precise speed ratios and positional accuracy. OMEGA belts are made of polychloroprene or polyurethane with high-strength tension cords, such as glass fibre or other materials, and are made in different pitches, with widths selected to match the drive power. The belts can run at high speeds and need little maintenance and no lubrication. Compared with standard trapezoidal profiles, the OMEGA profile gives better load distribution and a higher power rating. Typical applications include machine tools, pumps, compressors, packaging machines, textile equipment and industrial robots. Pulleys that match the pitch and width are needed, and Optibelt supplies matching timing pulleys.
