This Optibelt 8V 1700 BP2 belt is part of the Blue Power 2 series, a narrow wedge V-belt with an 8V profile and a length of 4318 mm. It is used in heavy-duty industrial drives where a high power capacity in a compact cross-section is required. To confirm fit, check the existing belt marking for 8V 1700 BP2 and verify the sheave groove profile matches 8V.
Narrow wedge V-belts like this 8V profile are common on pumps, fans, compressors, and other process equipment in plants, mills, and production facilities. The 8V cross-section is designed for drives that need to transmit more power than a classical V-belt of similar width. Because the belt length is 4318 mm, it is typically found on long-center-distance drives or multiple-sheave arrangements. When replacing, always compare the full part number on the old belt to ensure the profile and length match exactly.
Before ordering, inspect the drive for worn sheaves, misalignment, or damaged grooves, as these can shorten belt life. If the belt has been in service for a long time or runs in a set, replace all belts on the drive at the same time to maintain even load sharing. The Blue Power 2 construction is designed for demanding industrial applications, but correct tension and alignment remain critical for performance.
To request a quote, send the part number 8V 1700 BP2, the quantity needed, and any details about the drive or application. If you are unsure whether this is the correct belt, provide the marking from the old belt and we can help confirm the profile and length. Our team responds promptly by WhatsApp or email.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 8V profile mean for my drive?
- The 8V profile indicates a narrow wedge V-belt cross-section. It is used in industrial drives that require higher power transmission than classical V-belts. Confirm that your sheaves are designed for 8V belts.
- How can I verify that this belt will fit?
- Check the marking on your existing belt. If it reads 8V 1700 BP2, this belt matches that part number. Also ensure the sheave groove profile is 8V and the center distance allows for a 4318 mm belt.
- Can I replace just one belt on a multi-belt drive?
- For best performance, replace all belts on the drive at the same time. Mixing new and used belts can cause uneven tension and load sharing, leading to premature failure.
