The Gates Multi-Speed 23x850 is a variable speed belt with a 23 profile and an 850 mm length. Those two figures are what you match to the drive: the profile fits the sheave groove and the length sets the center distance. This is a belt for adjustable-speed drives, not a fixed-ratio V-belt application.
When you read a variable speed belt marking, the profile and length are the selection data. The 23 profile is the cross-section that seats in the pulley groove, and 850 mm is the datum length around the belt. Both must agree with the drive before the belt will run correctly.
If you are replacing an existing belt, the cleanest method is to read the marking on the back of the old belt and match it. A worn belt can measure differently, so use the printed code rather than a tape measure. Send us the part number 23x850 and the drive details, and we will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.
Variable speed drives often use more than one belt, and replacing a full set at the same time keeps the load shared evenly. Inspect the sheaves for wear or fretting while the drive is open, since groove condition affects belt life.

Frequently asked questions
- What do the profile and length mean on the 23x850?
- The 23 is the belt profile, which must match the sheave groove. The 850 mm is the belt length. Both are selection criteria for a variable speed drive.
- How do I confirm this is the right belt for my drive?
- Read the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing. If it reads 23x850, this is the same size. If you are unsure, send the drive details and we will help confirm.
- Should I replace all the belts on the drive at once?
- On a multi-belt variable speed drive, replacing the full set at the same time is standard practice so the belts share the load evenly.
