When the marking on a banded V-belt is worn or unreadable, identifying the replacement starts with the code on the back. This page covers the Optibelt 3-A 2540 from the KB VB series, a banded V-belt with a 2540 mm length. Use the part number to request a quote or confirm it matches your drive.
The 3-A 2540 is a banded V-belt, meaning multiple V-belts are joined by a top cover to run as a single unit on multi-groove sheaves. The KB VB series from Optibelt is built for drives where matched sets are required to keep belts from turning over or whipping. The length is 2540 mm, and the part number combines the section and length for straightforward identification.
Before ordering, read the old belt's back marking. Look for the full code, including the section and length, and check for any additional characters that indicate a specific construction. If the marking is faded, measure the outside length and note the top width and thickness. A photo of the marking and a measurement of the length help confirm the correct belt.
Send the part number, the application details, and any photos by WhatsApp or email. The team can verify the 3-A 2540 against your drive specifications and help you source the right banded V-belt. If you are replacing a set, include the quantity of belts in the drive so the replacement set matches.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I read the marking on a banded V-belt?
- The marking on the back of the belt typically shows the section, the length, and the manufacturer's series. For this belt, the marking would include 3-A 2540 and KB VB. If the marking is worn, measure the outside length and the cross-section to identify a replacement.
- What does banded V-belt mean?
- A banded V-belt has two or more V-belts permanently joined by a top cover. This construction keeps the belts aligned and prevents individual belts from turning over or coming off the sheave. It is used on drives that require multiple belts to work as a set.
- Can I replace just one belt in a banded set?
- Banded V-belts are designed to be replaced as a complete unit. Replacing only one belt in a set can lead to uneven tension and premature failure. Always replace the entire banded belt with a new one of the same part number and length.
