This page covers the Gates Hi-Power II B 174, a classical V-belt with a B profile and a length of 4495.8 mm. Before you fit a replacement, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt has a clean, true running surface. We supply this belt to maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams across the US, Canada, Mexico and South America.

The B 174 is built to a 17 mm top width, 11 mm height and 40 degree angle. Those dimensions place it in the B section, and the 4495.8 mm length is the datum you match when comparing an old belt or reading a drive specification. Confirm the profile and length against the belt you are replacing before you order.

Drive inspection matters as much as the belt itself. Check sheave grooves for wear, burrs, debris or oil, and make sure the sheaves are aligned and the take-up has enough travel for a new belt. A worn groove can wear a new classical V-belt quickly, so correct any sheave problem before fitting the B 174.

To request a quote, send the part number B 174 and the quantity you need by WhatsApp or email. If you are unsure whether this is the right belt for the drive, include the marking on the back of the old belt and the sheave dimensions, and our team will help confirm the B profile and 4495.8 mm length or suggest an equivalent.
