As a family-owned company, optibelt are defined by exceptional technological quality and innovative, industry-specific solutions. Backed by over 150 years of expertise in rubber processing, they offer a broad portfolio of power transmission belt options. Optibelts international success is built on a strong foundation of nine production facilities across seven countries and a network of global sales offices.
Optibelt SK Wedge Belt
The wrapped Optibelt SK wedge belt was developed especially for mechanical engineering, where it replaces its predecessor, the classic V-belt. In comparison, it transmits approximately 50% more power and thus enables more compact and therefore more cost-effective drives when purchasing new ones.
The wrapped SK wedge belt has the characteristics of the excellent Optibelt S=C Plus with an efficiency of almost 97% and can be used in the set without further measurements.
Optibelt RED POWER 3 V-Belt
The new design with Optibelt RED POWER 3 V-belts allows for a more compact and cost-efficient setup by reducing the number of belts required, which also decreases axle and bearing loads.
With a significantly longer service life and minimal maintenance requirements, the RED POWER 3 is an ideal solution for overloaded drives where conventional V-belts fall short. Cost savings of up to 35% can be achieved through reduced maintenance, fewer belt replacements, and the use of smaller pulleys. Unlike traditional V-belts, which require frequent re-tensioning, the maintenance-free RED POWER 3 eliminates this extra effort and associated costs.
The Optibelt RED POWER 3 delivers up to 50% higher performance compared to conventional V-belts. As a result, fewer belts are needed for the same power transmission, enabling sustainable cost savings through the use of narrower pulleys. Alternatively, smaller pulley diameters can be used without reducing the number of belts.
Optibelt BLUE POWER Wedge Belt
The Optibelt BLUE POWER wrapped high-performance wedge belt features a high-strength aramid cord, making it especially suitable for large, heavily loaded drives—whether used as a single belt, in matched sets, or as a kraftband
The performance of an BLUE POWER wedge belt is roughly double that of a standard narrow V-belt, representing an increase of up to 100%. When multiple V-belts are used side by side, proper matching within the set is essential.
This high-performance wedge belt delivers up to twice the power of a standard sheathed belt, making it perfect for demanding industrial uses. Designed with advanced materials and state-of-the-art technology, it offers enhanced efficiency, greater load capacity, and longer-lasting durability.
Optibelt BLUE POWER 2 Wedge Belt
The Optibelt BLUE POWER 2 is a high-performance wedge belt featuring a high-flex aramid tension cord. Paired with their specially designed cover fabric, it offers enhanced flexibility while protecting all belt components from external factors.
The BLUE POWER 2 narrow V-belt stands out due to its use of premium raw materials and semi-finished products, an optimized manufacturing process, and increased power density achieved through EPDM. The outcome is a product that truly delivers exceptional performance.
The BLUE POWER 2 achieves an efficiency of 97%. Its special fabric and high-flex aramid tension strand enhance the bending flexibility of each individual belt.
The BLUE POWER 2 delivers up to 10% greater performance than the BLUE POWER V-belt. This allows for fewer belts to be used in power transmission, enabling sustainable cost savings through the use of narrower pulleys
Optibelt VB Classic V-Belt
Thanks to its versatility, the Optibelt VB is the classic choice among drive belts. Its strengths are especially evident in challenging drives for agricultural machinery, as well as in unique applications like V-flat drives in mechanical engineering.
Optibelt SUPER XE-POWER PRO Wedge Belt
The maintenance-free Optibelt SUPER XE-POWER PRO M=S ranks among the most powerful drive belts available. Its innovative design enables new opportunities for friction-locked drives, even with the smallest pulley diameters, under extreme temperature conditions, and at very high speeds.
The new tooth profile, developed through FEM analysis and practical testing, allows for very small minimum pulley diameters on internal pulleys. Additionally, the SUPER XE-POWER PRO M=S is now also compatible with external pulleys, enabling the design of more compact drive systems.
The SUPER XE-POWER PRO M=S is suitable for a wide range of applications and is especially well-suited for machine and special machine construction. It’s ideal for compressors, fans, pumps, lathes, drills, and any other scenarios that demand compact drive systems.
The Optibelt SUPER XE-POWER PRO M=S is a reliable alternative to Fenner Quattro PLUS CRE and Fenner Ultra PLUS CRE belts. YB Components supplies both Fenner and Optibelt V and wedge belts, along with a wide range of other brands.
Optibelt SUPER TX V-Belt
The exceptional flexibility of the raw edge, moulded cogged Optibelt SUPER TX V-belts allows for the use of very small pulley diameters.
The SUPER TX M=S V-belts truly excel in applications involving very small pulley diameters, high speeds, exceptional power demands, and elevated ambient temperatures—conditions where wrapped V-belts are often uneconomical and impractical.
Rubber compounds combined with low-stretch tension cords ensure high power transmission and increased service life.
Optibelt VARIO POWER Variable Speed Belt
Optibelt VARIO POWER variable speed belts are the ideal choice for precise, infinitely variable speed control. Their specialised construction ensures high dynamic load capacity, outstanding power transmission, and excellent control performance.
Space-saving drive solutions, optimum control behaviour, reduction of running temperature and a wide range of applications are the hallmarks of this belt.
The electrical conductivity of the VARIO POWER variable speed belts allows the safe dissipation of electrostatic charges. In the case of drives with insufficient electrical conductivity, this can be so strong that there is a risk of ignition due to the formation of sparks.
In the double-toothed optibelt VARIO POWER the double-toothed V-belt ensures better heat dissipation and thus significantly reduces the belt temperature.
The VARIO POWER features a fabric overlay that provides transverse rigidity while maintaining flexibility, thanks to its transverse fibres. This rigidity is further enhanced by the double-toothed design.
Optibelt DK Double-Sided V-Belt
With its centrally positioned tension cord, the Optibelt DK double V-belt offers exceptional flexibility and minimal stretch, making it especially well-suited for applications involving reverse bending.
DK double V-belts are used when several pulleys are in one plane and the direction of rotation of one or more driven pulleys is to be changed without crossing the belt. Typical serpentine arrangements are perfectly suited to the optibelt DK double V-belt.
Custom designs with various superstructures are available. While double V-belts are primarily used in agricultural machinery, they are also seeing growing use in mechanical engineering applications.
