The Optibelt 5V KB 2240 BP is a banded V-belt from the KB Blue Power series, with a length of 5690 mm. It is built for drives that need multiple V-belts to work as a single unit. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves.
Check sheave grooves for wear, rust, or embedded debris. Worn grooves let the belt sit too deep, which causes slippage and heat. Misalignment between sheaves will pull the banded belt apart at the tie band. Use a straightedge across the sheave faces to confirm alignment.
Inspect the bushing and shaft for movement. A loose sheave will wear the belt edges quickly. Confirm that the take-up adjustment has enough travel to tension the new belt without bottoming out. Clean the grooves with a wire brush and wipe them dry before installation.
When you replace a banded V-belt, replace the full set at the same time. Mixing a new belt with old ones on the same drive changes the load sharing. The 5V KB 2240 BP measures 5690 mm; verify this against the marking on your old belt.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check on the sheaves before fitting this belt?
- Inspect the grooves for wear, rust, and debris, and check alignment across the sheave faces. Worn or misaligned sheaves will shorten belt life.
- How do I confirm this is the right belt for my drive?
- Read the marking on the back of the old belt. The 5V KB 2240 BP is a banded V-belt with a length of 5690 mm. If your old belt matches, send that part number for a quote.
- Can I replace just one belt on a banded drive?
- No. Replace the full set at the same time so all belts share the load evenly. A single new belt alongside old ones will not carry its share.
