The Gates B 55 PowerBand is a banded V-belt in the Hi-Power PowerBand series. It measures 1397 mm and is built for drives where multiple V-belts run as a set. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves.
Check sheave grooves for wear, corrosion, or debris. Worn grooves let the belt sit too deep, which causes slip and heat. Misalignment between sheaves shortens belt life. Confirm the sheave diameter and groove profile match the B section. Verify the center distance allows the belt to be tensioned correctly.
A banded V-belt ties the ribs together with a common backing. This keeps the belt from turning over in the groove and helps the ribs share the load. On a worn drive, that stability is only as good as the sheaves. If one groove is damaged, the whole banded belt runs poorly.
When you replace a banded belt, replace the full set. Mixing a new belt with old ones changes the load balance. Read the marking on the back of the old belt to confirm the part number. Send that number to MR Industrial Accessories by WhatsApp or email for a quote.
