optibelt OMEGA RB

High performance for mill drives

  • Dual sided, high-performance timing belt with RB back
  • Profiles: STD & OMEGA

Maximum performance for mill drives


Optimized drive safety through controlled belt slip


The additional PK ribbed belt profile on the back of the optibelt OMEGA RB allows the belt to slip in the event of a sudden jam or stoppage. The Optibelt drive belt will protect the valuable drive components and allow the drive to restart once the blockage is removed.


The following ensures maximum service life, efficiency and reliability:


  • Latest high-fiber-filled rubber compound
  • High-strength and wear-resistant tooth fabric
  • Availability of glass, hybrid and full-carbon tension members for diffeent performance classes
  • Antistatic according to ISO 9563
  • Temperature resistance from -40°C to +130°C
  • Compliance with PFAS guidelines
  • STD, HTD and Omega tooth profile
  • Various lengths available

Diverse mill applications

The optibelt OMEGA RB timing belt is perfect for use in mills, such as food, grain, fruit, and flour mills.

Success Story

Double service life, significant savings

Industry: Food & Beverage

Application: Flour mill

Product: optibelt OMEGA RB

A large food processing mill was experiencing belt failures on the mill drives after only 1000 hours. The back bend idler on the drive was causing the previous belts to delaminate over time. The optibelt OMEGA RB was used as a direct replacement on the drive. The superior one piece construction caused the belt life to double to over 2000 hours. This led to an annual cost savings of approximately $750 per machine!

When downtime is not an option

Milling Power at its finest

High running smoothness, low vibration

Mills often generate vibrations due to grinding or hammering mechanisms. The optibelt OMEGA RB dampens these vibrations, ensuring that the drive runs more smoothly, bearings and shafts are protected, and less maintenance is required.

Non-slip, efficient running

Thanks to the large number of ribs, the ribbed belt offers a large contact surface with the pulley. This results in less slippage, smoother running, and high efficiency of over 95%. Ideal for mills that run under high loads.

High power transmission in confined spaces

Mill drives must transmit a lot of power in a small space. A ribbed belt combines the flexibility of a flat belt with the high power transmission of a V-belt.

Resistance to dust, moisture, and dirt

Dust, fine particles, and temperature fluctuations create harsh conditions in mills. The optibelt OMEGA RB is designed to operate reliably under these conditions.
