This page covers the Gates Hi-Power II B 166, a classical V-belt built for industrial drives. It is identified by its B profile and 4292.6 mm length, and it is used where a standard classical cross-section is required.

The B 166 is a classical V-belt with a B profile. Its top width is 17 mm and its height is 11 mm, with a 40° angle. The length is 4292.6 mm. These dimensions are the key reference points when checking a drive or comparing a belt removed from service.

Classical V-belts in the B cross-section are common on drives that do not use narrow wedge, cogged, or synchronous constructions. To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt and match the profile and length. Also inspect the sheave grooves for wear and verify that the belt sits correctly in the groove.

If you are replacing a belt on a multi-belt drive, plan to replace the full set so the load is shared evenly. Send the part number, the profile and length from the belt marking, and the drive details for a quote. The team can confirm the B 166 or suggest an equivalent.
