How to choose Optibelt V-belts for your production?

V-belts are a key component of belt drives, widely used in manufacturing enterprises. They ensure efficient and reliable operation of drive systems by transmitting power from the engine to working mechanisms.

Among the most popular series of Optibelt drive belts are VB, SK, RED POWER 3, and BLUE POWER. Let’s explore their design features, advantages, and applications.

Optibelt VB and Optibelt SK V-Belts

Optibelt offers a wide range of V-belts, among which the Optibelt VB series -  classic V-belts and the Optibelt SK series - narrow V-belts are particularly popular.

The difference between classic V-belts and narrow V-belts lies in the different ratio of profile width to height. Due to this feature, narrow V-belts can transmit approximately 50% more power than classic V-belts with a similar width profile, such as SPC and C/22 profiles.

A feature of Optibelt V-belts production is the VB and SK series compliance with the Optibelt S = C Plus standard, which ensures minimal deviations of the actual length of the belts from their nominal value.

Compliance with the Optibelt S = C Plus standard allows belts to be used in sets regardless of their production date or batch. Any drive system using multiple V-belts will operate more efficiently with Optibelt S = C Plus belts.

The SK and VB series belts are made from high-quality materials: polyester cord ensures high strength and resistance to stretching, special rubber base enhances flexibility and durability, double rubber-impregnated fabric wrap protects against wear.

This construction ensures a long service life and operational stability. The efficiency of Optibelt SK and VB belts reaches 97%, making them an energy-efficient choice.

This series is the perfect choice for enterprises where increased reliability and efficiency are critical.

Thanks to an advanced design that includes a special high-modulus polyester cord, RED POWER 3 belts do not require tension adjustment throughout their entire service life. The use of this special cord allows the belts to withstand and transmit 50% more power than belts of similar profiles and lengths in the SK and VB series.

Additionaly, the special belt design allows RED POWER 3 to be used in drives with dynamic loads. Given these characteristics, Optibelt RED POWER 3 belts are the ideal solution for high-load drives where frequent downtime and maintenance are impossible or undesirable.

Optibelt BLUE POWER reinforced belt series

If your production requires maximum reliability and efficiency, the BLUE POWER series belts are exactly what you need. Thanks to the use of special construction materials, BLUE POWER belts transmit 100% more power than SK series belts of the same size and profile.

BLUE POWER is the best choice for drives operating under high loads (including dynamic loads), dusty environments, and elevated temperatures. Such extreme operating conditions require uncompromising quality and reliability.
