The Optibelt 5VX 500 XEP is a cogged narrow V-belt in the 5VX profile with a 1270 mm length, part of the Super XE-Power Pro M=S series. If you are replacing a belt on an existing drive, the marking on the back of the old belt is the fastest way to confirm you are ordering the same profile and length.
Read the old belt before you pull it. A 5VX profile and a 1270 mm length are what this belt gives you, and both need to match the drive. If the back of the belt is worn or the print has rubbed off, measure the outside length and note the cross-section so the comparison is made against real numbers rather than an assumed size.
Cogged narrow V-belts are used where a standard wrapped belt would run hot or slip on small diameter pulleys. The 5VX section is the narrow wedge profile, so it sits deeper in the groove than a classic V-belt of similar top width. Confirm the pulley grooves are not worn or polished before installing a replacement.
Send the part number 5VX 500 XEP, or the marking from your old belt, by WhatsApp or email and our team will confirm it or suggest an equivalent. Photos of the belt back and the pulley grooves help us check the match before you commit to an order.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this is the right belt for my drive?
- Check the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing. You are looking for a 5VX profile and a 1270 mm length. If the marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and the cross-section, then send those details with a photo of the belt.
- What does the 5VX profile tell me?
- 5VX is a narrow V-belt profile, also called a wedge belt. It is narrower than a classic V-belt section, so it sits deeper in the pulley groove. Match the profile to the pulley, not just the length.
- What should I send for a quote?
- Send the part number 5VX 500 XEP, or the full marking from your old belt, by WhatsApp or email. If you have a photo of the belt back and the pulley grooves, include those so we can confirm the profile and length before quoting.
