Picanol Loom Rapier Tape ULTIMAX H220 RH LH 2530mm 650rpm YHC-0254 YHC-0253 Replacement Part

Picanol Rapier Loom Tape ULTIMAX H220 RH / LH - 2530mm - YHC-0254 / YHC-0253

Product Overview

The ULTIMAX H220 rapier tape is a direct replacement tape for Picanol rapier looms, produced to OEM-equivalent length and end fitting so it installs on the original tape wheel without modification. Both sides are available: right hand YHC-0254 and left hand YHC-0253, length 2530mm, rated for looms running at 650 rpm.

The tape carries the gripper through the shed and returns it every pick, so its length, its width and the condition of its running surface decide whether the weft is inserted at the right position on every pick. A tape that has stretched, frayed or lost its end fitting shows up first as weft position error, then as a broken tape in the middle of a production run.

FAQ

How do I know if I need the RH or the LH tape?
The tape side follows the gripper side of the loom. Tell us your loom model and the code on the old tape; if you replace both sides in one order, we ship YHC-0254 and YHC-0253 together.

Do RH and LH tapes have to be replaced together?
Not necessarily, but when both tapes show similar wear hours it is cheaper to replace the pair in one order and avoid a second machine stop.

Is the tape suitable for high speed running?
Yes. It is rated for looms running at 650 rpm.
