This Optibelt 5-B 1300 belt is a banded V-belt from the KB VB series. It is used on drives where multiple V-belts run in parallel and must stay matched, such as in industrial machinery and process equipment. The belt's length is 1300 mm.

Banded V-belts are common on drives that carry heavy loads or run at high speeds, where single V-belts might slip, flip, or wear unevenly. The band ties the ribs together so they act as one unit across the pulley grooves. When you replace a banded belt, confirm the profile and the length match the old belt exactly. Check the pulley grooves for wear and alignment before installing the new belt.

To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt. You are looking for the part number 5-B 1300 and the series KB VB. The 1300 mm length is the datum length for this belt. If the old belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the outside circumference or the datum length with a belt gauge and compare it to 1300 mm. Also count the number of ribs and check the profile against the pulley grooves.

If you are replacing belts on a multi-belt drive, it is good practice to replace all belts in the set at the same time so they share the load evenly.
