This Optibelt 5-A 3048 is a banded V-belt from the KB VB series. Banded construction ties multiple V-belts together so they run as a single unit where a drive uses several belts side by side. Confirm fit by checking the marking on the old belt and the drive's sheave grooves.
Banded V-belts are common on drives that must stay synchronized, such as multi-groove sheave setups where a single belt would slip or flip. This belt is 3048 mm long. The banded design helps keep the belts from turning over or whipping in the grooves.
To confirm this belt fits, read the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing. The code 5-A 3048 identifies the profile and length. If the marking is worn, measure the outside length and count the number of ribs in the band. Send that information with your quote request.
If you are replacing a set, order the same number of belts as the drive uses and replace them together. A mismatched set can cause uneven tension and premature wear. We carry Optibelt and can help you confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent based on your drive details.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this banded V-belt fits my drive?
- Check the marking on the back of the old belt. It should read 5-A 3048 or match the profile and length. Also count the number of ribs in the band and compare it to the number of grooves on your sheaves.
- What should I send for a quote on this belt?
- Send the part number 5-A 3048, the quantity you need, and any details from the old belt such as the number of ribs. If you have a photo of the marking, that helps us confirm the correct belt.
- Can I replace just one belt in a banded set?
- Banded belts are designed to run as a set. Replacing only one belt can cause uneven tension and wear. We recommend replacing the full set at the same time.
