The Optibelt 2-8V 1180 BP2 is a banded V-belt from the KB Blue Power 2 series, with a length of 2997 mm. Banded V-belts are used where multiple V-belts run side by side on the same pulleys and must stay aligned under load. This page covers where this belt fits and what to check before you order.
Banded V-belts are common on drives with several grooves and a risk of belt whip, flip or uneven tension, such as large fans, blowers, compressors, crushers and process machinery. The band holds the individual belts together so they track as one unit across the pulley set. The 2-8V 1180 BP2 is a two-belt band in the 8V profile with a 2997 mm length.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing and match the profile, the number of belts in the band and the length. Check the pulley grooves for wear and the sheave alignment before installing. If the old belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and count the ribs across the band.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this banded V-belt fits my drive?

- What should I send to request a quote?
- Send the part number 2-8V 1180 BP2, the quantity and the drive details. If you are replacing a worn belt with no readable marking, include the outside length and the number of ribs.
- Should banded V-belts be replaced as a set?
