The Gates BB173 is a double-V (hexagonal) belt in the Hi-Power Dubl-V series. It has a BB profile and a length of 4470 mm. This belt is used on drives that require power transmission from both sides of the belt.
Before fitting a new belt, inspect the drive and sheaves. Check for worn grooves, misalignment, and debris. Confirm that the sheave profile matches the BB profile and that the belt length of 4470 mm suits the drive layout. Correct sheave condition helps the belt run properly and last.
The Gates BB173 is also listed under Dayco BB173 for the same size. When replacing, verify the part number on the old belt and compare it to the new one. If the old belt is worn or stretched, the marking may be hard to read; in that case, measure the length and confirm the profile before ordering.
For a quote, send the part number Gates BB173, the quantity, and any details about the drive. If you need help confirming the right belt or an equivalent, our team can assist. We serve maintenance, engineering, and purchasing professionals across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America.
