The Gates Hi-Power II B 345 is a classical V-belt with a B profile and a length of 8788.4 mm. This page gives maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams the profile and length data needed to confirm the belt against a drive specification or an existing installation.
The B profile sets the belt's cross-section: a top width of 17 mm, a height of 11 mm and a 40-degree angle. Those dimensions determine how the belt seats in a B-section pulley groove. The length of 8788.4 mm is the second point to verify, because a classical V-belt must match the drive's required length for correct tension and alignment.
The same size is also listed under Optibelt as B 345. If you are matching a belt already on a drive, the marking on the back of the belt is the fastest reference. Send the part number, the profile and the length by WhatsApp or email and the team will confirm the B 345 and reply promptly.
For replacement work, inspect the drive before ordering: check pulley grooves for wear, confirm the belt sits at the correct height in the groove and look for cracking or glazing on the existing belt. When a drive runs more than one belt, replacing the full set keeps tension even across the drive.

Frequently asked questions
- What do the profile and length tell me about this belt?
- The B profile gives a 17 mm top width, 11 mm height and 40-degree angle, so the belt fits B-section pulleys. The 8788.4 mm length is the dimension to match against the drive specification or the belt being replaced.
- How do I confirm the right belt for my drive?
- Read the marking on the back of the old belt and note the profile and length. Send that information, or the part number B 345, by WhatsApp or email and the team will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.
- Is the same size listed under another brand?
- Yes. The same size is also listed under Optibelt as B 345, which can help when comparing a belt already in service.
