Top surface<br />

The top surface of the OMEGA HL as well as the material of the<br />

teeth consists of polychloroprene reinforced with aramid fibre.<br />

Thus, an even more abrasion resistant surface is in contact with a<br />

reverse bend idler. This surface protects the tension cord from<br />

environmental influences.<br />

Tension cord<br />

In contrast to the OMEGA HP with glass cord, the OMEGA HL uses<br />

a considerably stronger, reinforced glass cord. Thus, the power<br />

can be further increased by up to 25 %; shock resistance also<br />

increases considerably.<br />

Teeth<br />

Below the tension cord and forming the teeth is a polychloroprene<br />

compound reinforced with aramid fibre. This ensures a secure<br />

power transfer from the pulley to the tension cord. The considerably<br />

increased tooth strength (compared to OMEGA) is made possible<br />

by the inclusion use of aramid fibres in the compound. This material<br />

enables a very good tooth shape maintenance as well as an<br />

increased shear strength for every single tooth of the OMEGA HL.<br />

Fabric<br />

The shear strength of the teeth is supported by a solid, extremely<br />

tough fabric. The shape of the OMEGA teeth and the minimal<br />

friction fabric enable a smooth meshing of the belt tooth into the<br />

pulley tooth. In addition, the special polyamide fabric is very wear<br />

resistant.<br />

Product description<br />

optibelt OMEGA HL timing belts<br />

The new high performance timing belt<br />

for extremely high loads<br />

across the whole speed spectrum<br />

Optibelt has developed this belt in the sections 8M HL and 14M HL<br />

especially for drives with high torques and severe shock loads.<br />

These types of drives can often be found in general engineering.<br />

For this use, the construction and the material of the timing belt have<br />

been optimised in such a way that highest operational reliability<br />

paired with optimal economic efficiency is reached when newly<br />

designing a drive. Initially the belt will be available in the 8M HL<br />

section.<br />

Optibelt OMEGA, OMEGA HP and OMEGA HL timing belts are<br />

used in Optibelt ZRS-HTD ® pulleys or in RPP ® timing pulleys. For<br />

applications in other pulleys, please contact the Optibelt Applications<br />

Engineering Department.<br />

A reinforced glass tension cord is used. This innovative glass cord<br />

distinguishes itself by the combination of the following, important<br />

characteristics:<br />

• good resistance to shock loading<br />

• very high dynamic resistance<br />

• very low residual and elastic stretch<br />

Therefore, the belt performance can be increased by an additional<br />

25 %, compared to OMEGA HP. In contrast to an aramid cord,<br />

which also has a very high resistance to shock loading, the<br />

reinforced glass cord has a considerably lower residual stretch<br />

during the running time. Aramid cord has a high residual stretch<br />

(see diagram) during running. The minimal tension loss of the<br />

reinforced glass cord leads to the maintenance of the section and<br />

thus to a load which is distributed more evenly on the teeth during<br />

running.<br />

In addition, the reinforced glass cord can also be used at medium<br />

and high speeds while the use of the aramid cord is limited to low<br />

and medium speeds. In contrast to the aramid cord, the glass cord<br />

enables a considerable extension to the <strong>range</strong> of applications.<br />
