This Optibelt 5-B 1600 is a banded V-belt from the KB VB series, built for drives where multiple V-belts run together and must stay aligned. The belt is 1600 mm long, and the banded construction ties the ribs into one unit so they do not flip or whip out of the pulley grooves.

Banded V-belts are common on heavy-duty industrial drives: crushers, mixers, compressors, fans, and similar equipment where several belts share the load. Because the ribs are joined, the belt seats as a set and keeps the same tension across the drive. Inspect the pulleys for worn grooves, oil, or debris before fitting, and check that the sheave alignment is correct.

To confirm this belt fits your drive, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare the profile and length. The 5-B profile and 1600 mm length identify this Optibelt belt. If the old marking is worn or missing, measure the outside length and count the number of ribs in the band, then send those details with your equipment information.

When you request a quote, include the part number 5-B 1600, the quantity, and any drive details you have. If you are unsure whether this is the correct belt, send a photo of the old belt marking and the pulley arrangement. We carry the Optibelt line and can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
