optibelt ALPHA LINEAR
Timing belts - open-ended, extruded polyurethane
Open-ended optibelt ALPHA LINEAR Open-ended optibelt ALPHA LINEAR timing belts are made of extruded, thermoplastic polyurethane with tension cords parallel to the edges. The belts are dimensionally stable and their precise positioning makes them ideal for use in linear drive systems.
It is also possible to apply transparent polyurethane (with a hardness of 85 Shore A), T2, yellow PU foam or other materials directly to the belt in an additional downstream extrusion process.
The optibelt ALPHA LINEAR timing belt can also be given a thin fabric covering on the tooth side in order to reduce friction and noise. Fabric can also be applied to the belt back.

optibelt ALPHA V
Timing belts – endless welded polyurethane
optibelt ALPHA V timing belts are made from open-ended extruded optibelt ALPHA LINEAR timing belts that are welded together to achieve the specified length. They are used primarily in transport systems.
Despite the break in the tension cords at the finger spliced joint, the welded timing belts still achieve at least 50 % of the permissible tractive force achieved by belts with continuous cords. This is due to the high strength of the thermoplastic polyurethane.
When polyamide fabric is welded to the polyurethane belts, the fabric is simply butt jointed and not bonded together at its ends. In contrast, reinforced top surfaces and T2, yellow PU foam and APL plus coatings as well as the tooth side of the belt can be welded together as a joint-free composite.

Advantages that speak for Optibelt
Lengths can be manufactured according to gradations in pitch
Can be supplied cost-effectively and at short notice
The reinforced top surface version and the T2, yellow PU foam or APL plus versions can be welded in composite
Characteristics that speak for Optibelt
Also available with polyamide fabric on the tooth side and/or belt back
PU also available with FDA approval for food contact
Direct welding on of cleats and V-guides
Despite breaks in the tension cords, these belts offer approx. 50% of the performance of continuous cord timing belts

optibelt ALPHA FLEX
Timing belts - open-ended, extruded polyurethane
The optibelt ALPHA FLEX timing belt is manufactured to the customer’s length specification as an endless belt without any breaks in the tensile reinforcement. This means that two spirally wound tension cords are used.
These cords can be made of steel, highly flexible steel or stainless steel to suit a wide range of applications.
In the case of belts that are at least 1,500 mm long, the tooth side of the optibelt ALPHA FLEX can be covered with polyamide fabric (PAZ).

optibelt ATC-SYSTEM
For flexible transport applications
The optibelt ATC-SYSTEM is a patented system solution and comprises an extruded polyurethane timing belt. With its impressed ATC recesses, it offers a cost-effective solution in flexible systems.
The user of the ATC-SYSTEM can fasten screw-on cleats quickly and easily to a freely selectable tooth, on the spot. The connection can be fastened and detached directly by the user. As a result,varying forms of transported goods can be conveyed on the same drive and base belt using different screw-on cleats. With detachable cleat fastenings, the costs for stock-keeping of wear and spare parts can be reduced.
ATC inserts also make it possible to screw parts on directly, such as highly precise metal workpiece carriers, without using welded-on, specially manufactured cleats with inserts. Furthermore, screw-on cleats can transmit higher forces in comparison to permanently connected cleats. In addition, a smaller minimum pulley diameter can be chosen for the same fastening strength. Screw-on cleats for the ATC-SYSTEM are available on request.
With the ATC-System, an ATC-IN insert for screwing on the cleat is laid into the prepared recess in the tooth. In the optibelt ALPHA V timing belt, these recesses are consistently available in all teeth in profiles ATC10 and ATC20.
ATC-IN inserts are available in the material qualities stainless steel and zinc (ATC20 only stainless steel) in packaging units á 10, 25 or 100 pieces (ATC20 not in 100).
The assignment to belt profiles and properties can be found in the optibelt ATC-SYSTEM brochure.
