The Gates B 72 PowerBand is a banded V-belt from the Hi-Power PowerBand series. It is built for drives where multiple V-belts run together and must stay aligned. This page covers where banded V-belts are used and how to confirm this belt fits your drive.
Banded V-belts are used on multi-groove drives that need the strength of several V-belts with the stability of a single unit. The tie band holds the individual belts together, which helps control vibration and keeps the belts from turning over or jumping out of the sheave grooves. You will find them on drives where a single belt would not carry the load and where matched sets of separate belts can be difficult to keep in sync.
To confirm fit, check the belt marking on the drive: the profile and the length are the two key figures. This belt has a profile of B and a length of 1829 mm. Compare those to the old belt or to the drive documentation. Also confirm the number of ribs or grooves in the sheave matches the number of belts joined in the band. If the old belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and the top width to identify the profile.
If you are unsure, send the part number and a photo of the belt marking. We can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent from what we carry.
