When a variable speed drive starts slipping or the belt shows edge wear, the fastest way to identify the correct replacement is to read the marking on the back of the old belt. A marking such as 47x1600 identifies a Gates Multi-Speed variable speed belt with a 1600 mm length. We carry this belt and quote it by part number.

Variable speed belts run in drives where the sheave pitch diameter changes to vary speed, so the belt profile and length must match the original. The Gates Multi-Speed 47x1600 is a variable speed belt with a length of 1600 mm. Before ordering, clean the back of the old belt and read the complete marking, including any prefix or catalog characters, exactly as printed.

If the marking is worn or unreadable, measure the belt and note the profile and the 1600 mm length, then send those details along with the machine or drive information. Our team can confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent from the data you provide. Send your request by WhatsApp or email with the part number and any photos of the belt and the drive.

Replacing a variable speed belt is also a good time to inspect the sheaves for wear, check the drive alignment, and confirm the belt tension matches the drive manufacturer's specification. On drives with multiple belts, replace the full set so the load is shared evenly.
