Portfolio overview

Our polyamide and polyester spindle tapes offer a long service life and cost savings. By preventing fiber accumulation, cleaning is no longer necessary and production is uninterrupted. Moreover, Habasit tapes provide constant spindle speed and uniform yarn quality.

Polyamide spindle tapes are built with a durable polyamide traction layer ensuring reliable power transmission from the machine’s drive system to the spindles, stable spindle speeds and consistent yarn quality. They are widely used in ring spinning and twisting machines and high‑speed textile processes requiring precise spindle drive.

Main features:

Constant spindle speed and yarn quality
Robust and reliable
High abrasion resistance of belt surfaces
Long service life
No fiber accumulation, no cleaning

Applications:

Ideal for ring spinning machines, twisting machines, and high-speed textile processes requiring precise and dependable spindle drive

Key products:

TS-5	high abrasion resistance	dimensional stability
TS-10	constant CoF	high reliability
HS-5G	high acceleration	robustness

Polyester spindle tapes are high‑performance driving belts for ring spinning machines, ensuring constant spindle speed and uniform yarn quality at speeds above 24,000 rpm with no firber accumulation. Compared to polyamide tapes, they offer long service life stable performance and reduce energy consumption by 5–8%, making them ideal for medium‑ and high‑end spinning machines above 18,000 rpm.

Main features:

Constant spindle speed and yarn quality
No fiber accumulation, no cleaning
Minimized speed loss during spindle stop
Fast running-up time after spindle stop
High abrasion resistance of belt surfaces
Low energy consumption
Simple and fast to join (adhesive-free Flexproof method)

Applications:

It is particularly suitable as a driving belt for medium- and high-end spinning machines with spindle speeds above 18,000 rpm
