The Optibelt 8V 3550 BP2 is a narrow wedge V-belt from the Blue Power 2 series, built for drives that run in the 8V profile. We carry it in the 9017 mm length. Before you fit a new belt, spend a few minutes on the drive itself.
Worn sheave grooves are a common cause of short belt life. Check the groove flanks for wear, scoring or a polished step, and check that the sheaves run true. Misalignment between the two sheaves will pull a belt sideways and wear the sidewalls long before the cord fails. Correct alignment and clean grooves let a new 8V 3550 BP2 run as intended.
Also inspect the rest of the drive while it is down: bearings for play or roughness, mounting bolts and take-up hardware for tightness, and any guard or debris that could contact the belt. On multi-belt drives, replace all belts in the set at the same time so the load stays shared evenly.
The belt is marked 8V 3550 BP2. If you are matching an existing belt, read the marking directly off the back of the old one and send us that part number. If the marking is worn off, send the profile and the length you measured along with the drive details, and our team will confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
