The Optibelt Vario Power 55X16 1700 is a variable speed belt with a 1700 mm length. We carry this belt for industrial drives that require smooth ratio changes under load. Before you fit a replacement, inspect the sheaves and the rest of the drive.
Variable speed drives depend on clean, true-running sheave faces. Check for wear steps, grooves, or polished spots on the flanges, and confirm the sheaves move freely through their full ratio range. Any misalignment or binding will shorten belt life and affect speed control.
Measure the old belt and compare it with the 1700 mm length of the 55X16 1700. Look for cracks, missing cogs, or glazing on the flanks. If the drive uses multiple belts, replace them as a set to keep loads even. Send the part number and a photo of the belt marking for a quote.
When you request a quote, include the part number 55X16 1700 and the drive details so we can confirm the correct belt. We reply by WhatsApp or email.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check on the sheaves before installing this belt?
- Inspect the sheave faces for wear, grooves, or steps, and make sure the sheaves move freely through the full ratio range. Clean any debris and verify alignment before fitting the new belt.
- How do I confirm the 55X16 1700 is the right size?
- Compare the length of your old belt with the 1700 mm length of this belt. Check the part number on the back of the old belt and send it to us for confirmation.
- Can I replace just one belt on a multi-belt drive?
- For even load sharing, replace all belts in the set at the same time. Mixing new and worn belts can cause uneven tension and premature failure.
