Low stretch and maintenance free, Optibelt’s latest product brings a host of benefits over standard v-belt drives. Crucially, Red Power 3 is designed so that once correctly tensioned the first time, it doesn’t require re-tensioning again—a valuable saver of time and money.

Red Power 3 belts use a high modulus polyester tension cord that does not continually stretch over time, which is what gives it its ability to hold tension. In this capacity, it even goes beyond similarly strong aramid tension cord v-belts. The use of Red Power 3 v-belts can increase the mean time between repair (MTBR) on belt-driven applications considerably, compounding cost savings and reduced downtime for the operator.
