The Optibelt 5-8V 1180 BP2 is a banded V-belt from the KB Blue Power 2 series, with a length of 2997 mm. Banded construction ties multiple V-belts together so they run as one unit on multi-groove drives. Send the part number and we will confirm it against your application.

Banded V-belts are used where several V-belts run side by side on the same sheaves and must stay matched in length and tension. Typical drives include high-power industrial equipment with multi-groove pulleys, where a single belt slipping or flipping out of its groove would disrupt the whole drive. The band holds the individual belts in alignment and keeps them from whipping or rolling over.

To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare it with 5-8V 1180 BP2. Check the sheave grooves for wear, the pulley alignment, and the condition of the other belts in the set. On a banded drive, belts are normally replaced as a complete set rather than one at a time.

If you are unsure whether this is the right belt, send a photo of the back marking and the sheave arrangement. Our team can help confirm the 5-8V 1180 BP2 or suggest an equivalent.
