The advantages of Optibelt SUPER TX M=S V-belts can best be seen when dealing with:
• extremely small pulley diameters
• high rotational speeds
• extremely high-power requirements
• higher ambient temperatures
In these cases the use of wrapped V-belts is uneconomic and not recommended. Optibelt SUPER TX M=S V-belts in profiles ZX/X10, AX/X13, BX/X17 and CX/X22 offer the best technical and economic solutions under these conditions due to their high quality perfectly harmonised materials.
The belt base consists of a polychloroprene rubber compound with traverse fibres which support the tension cord. This results in:
• significant flexing rate
• extreme traverse stability
• significantly improved wear resistance and slip resistance
• electrically conductive according to DIN 1813
• low stretch
The specially prepared tension cord is embedded in a special compound. Even with high dynamic loads a perfect adhesion between all components is assured. The fabric layers of the upper structure support the tension cord. The fibre-reinforced substructure combined with the Optibelt tension cord and the moulded cogs allows for a higher dynamic power transmission. The moulded cogs decrease the flexing resistance, resulting in an excellent flexing rate. Thus, much smaller pulleys can be used compared to common wrapped V-belts.
Due to the use of high quality polychloroprene rubber compounds, the Optibelt SUPER TX M=S has a higher oil and heat-resistance than wrapped V-belts. As high power transmission is possible, even with small pulley diameters and high engine speed, weight and space can be reduced thus also substantially reducing costs.
