The Gates Hi-Power II B 178 is a classical V-belt with a B profile and a length of 4597.4 mm. This page covers how to match it to the belt you are replacing.
Start by reading the marking on the back of the old belt. Confirm the profile is B and the length is 4597.4 mm, then compare the top width of 17 mm, the height of 11 mm and the 40-degree angle to the belt in hand. If those values match, the B 178 is the correct size.
When you request a quote, send the part number B 178 along with the profile and length from the old belt. If the marking is worn or unreadable, measure the top width, height, angle and outside length and include those values. Our team can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
Inspect the drive before installing a replacement. Check the sheaves for wear, alignment and debris, and verify the belt sits correctly in the groove. Replacing belts in sets on multi-belt drives helps maintain even load sharing.
