Mild hybrid concepts were developed as a bridging technology to reduce CO2 emissions from new vehicles. The power of the combustion engine is supplemented by that of a belt-driven starter generator.

Mild hybrid systems require an extremely high-performance drive belt, since the power transmission frequently switches between the starter generator and the crankshaft pulley.

To withstand these enormous loads, optibelt OLYMPIA Mild Hybrid Ribbed Belts are made with high performance aramid cords and EPDM mixtures reinforced with aramid fibres.

Advantages that speak for Optibelt

• Outstanding power transmission and extreme tensile strength
• Extremely smooth running
• Optimal wear behaviour, even in dusty conditions
• Proven OE quality

optibelt OLYMPIA

The automotive industry continues to develop rapidly. As a partner in the industry, we support the technical progress of car manufacturers by continuously developing new and improved products. These innovative products are designed for use in challenging applications and are available under the new optibelt OLYMPIA product group in the independet spare parts market.

New engine design is putting an increasing emphasis on space saving. Small pulley diameters necessitating thin, flexible belts are often the result. Being extremely elastic and dimensionally stable, optibelt RBK ribbed belts can adapt to the respective drive geometry.

optibelt RBK ribbed belts drive the ancillary components in cars. They reduce vibration and give the generator, air-conditioning compressor and the power steering pump the right spin.

optibelt RBK ribbed belts are available as double sided belts or elastic belts.

Important: Elastic ribbed belts must never be used as a replacement for normal ribbed belts. At Optibelt you can recognise the elastic ribbed belts by the additional "E" in the item number, e.g. 6 EPK 842. Double sided ribbed belts have the item number suffix “DPK”.

Advantages that speak for Optibelt:

• High transmission ratios
• Vibration free and quiet
• High power transmission
• Exceptional load capacity

The optibelt MARATHON X was developed for driving ancillary components in the engines of cars and light commercial vehicles.
This raw edged V-belt with moulded cogs is distinguished by its high level of durability and its low-stretch tension behaviour.

Advantages that speak for Optibelt

• High level of durability
• Excellent tension behaviour
• High efficiency
• Low-maintenance operation
• Very smooth running

The optibelt Truck Power range was developed to meet the exacting quality and durability requirements of products in commercial vehicle engines. In addition to comprehensive repair sets, OPTIBELT also offers individual tension and guide idler pulleys for HGVs and buses: optibelt TRUCK POWER SUR X.

Optibelt’s high quality standard has developed continuously throughout the company’s 150-year history and as a result of its experience as an OE supplier. The same standards apply to the optibelt SUR range as to the manufacture of the belts.

The tension and guide idler pulley provide the necessary operational tension and routing for ribbed belts in commercial vehicle engines. The optibelt TRUCK POWER range was developed to meet the exacting quality and durability requirements of products in commercial vehicle engines. In addition to comprehensive repair sets, OPTIBELT also offers individual tension and guide idler pulleys for HGVs and buses: optibelt TRUCK POWER SUR X. It goes without saying that the same Optibelt quality standards that underpin the manufacture of the belts also apply to the optibelt SUR X range.

There is hardly any other field that is more reliant on engine safety and reliability than the freight and long distance haulage industry. Replacing parts with cheap components, and the resulting downtimes, costs enormous sums, especially for companies operating under just-in-time production conditions. It’s for this reason that professional repair shops who are responsible for the maintenance of these fleets rely on the OE quality and precision that Optibelt offers.

V-belts for commercial vehicles - optibelt TRUCK POWER MARATHON 2 M=S

The precision ground TRUCK POWER MARATHON 2 M=S may be used in sets without measurement and is designed for high performance drives. It is characterised by its superior efficiency and reliability. It is not affected by slip and is extremely wear-resistant. Despite the high performance, multi-groove drives run with remarkably low vibration due to the precision ground profile.

Advantages:

• Extremely wear-resistant
• Reinforced construction
• High operational reliability
• Maintenance-free drive

Kraftbands for commercial vehicles - optibelt TRUCK POWER KBX

Optibelt TRUCK POWER KBX are compact drive elements with a single belt characteristic. They are ideal for long centre distances, high outputs and strong vibrations, e.g. for air compressors, air conditioning compressors, fans or diesel engines.Vehicle manufacturers can rely on optibelt KBX with its tear-resistant, transversely rigid top surface and its precision ground belt sub-construction.

Advantages:

• Low-maintenance operation
• Quiet running
• Extremely wear-resistant

Ribbed belts - optibelt TRUCK POWER RBK

The optibelt TRUCK POWER RBK is a high performance ribbed belt for all modern ancillary component drives in commercial vehicles. Due to its high level of flexibility, this belt construction enables ancillary components to be configured in a space saving way in the ever-increasing constraints of the commercial vehicles of today. Even when exposed to environmental influences such as dust, moisture and extreme temperatures, optibelt TRUCK POWER RBK provides secure and silent power transmission. the optibelt TRUCK POWER RBK satisfies vehicle manufacturer requirements and achieves the highest level of operational performance.

Advantages:

• High transmission ratio
• Vibration free and quiet
• High power transmission
• Exceptional load capacity
• Minimal slip
• Temperature resistant by using EPDM

Refrigeration units ensure that the correct temperature is maintained in commercial vehicles. For the proper delivery of sensitive goods, it is vital that the refrigeration chain be maintained, without any interruptions. Both pharmaceutical products and perishable foodstuffs come under the heading of sensitive foodstuffs.

Tightly scheduled just-in-time logistics and strict environmental regulations leave little leeway for breakdowns or technical problems. This is why refrigeration units in modern trucks are usually fitted with several drive belts, which Optibelt includes in its range under the name optibelt TRUCK POWER CP.

As an original equipment manufacturer, Optibelt is familiar with the high demands placed on these drives and has developed special belt models in its own research and development department in Germany.

Advantages that speak for Optibelt

• In tried and tested OE quality
• The use of special fabrics and mixtures
• The optibelt CP number guarantees the correct quality of the belt
