The Gates B 173 PowerBand is a banded V-belt in the Hi-Power PowerBand series, with a length of 4394 mm. It is built for drives where multiple V-belts run together and need to stay aligned. Use the part number and length to match the belt you are replacing.
The most reliable way to match this belt is to read the marking on the back of the belt being replaced. Look for the full part number and the length, and compare them with B 173 and 4394 mm. If the existing belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and confirm the profile before ordering.
Banded V-belts are used on drives with several parallel grooves, where a single banded belt replaces a set of individual V-belts. This keeps the belts from turning over or jumping out of the grooves. Check the sheaves for wear, alignment and debris while the drive is open, and replace the belt as a complete unit.
We carry the Gates B 173 PowerBand for maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams. Send the part number, the length and a photo of the belt marking by WhatsApp or email, and we will confirm it or help you find the right equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this is the correct belt for my drive?
- Check the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing. It should show B 173 and a length of 4394 mm. If the marking is gone, measure the outside length and note the profile and number of ribs before requesting a quote.
- Can I replace just one belt on a banded drive?
- A banded V-belt is one unit that replaces a set of individual belts. It should be replaced as a complete banded belt, not as separate pieces.
- What information should I send for a quote?
- Send the part number B 173, the length 4394 mm, and a photo of the belt marking if possible. We will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.
