The Optibelt B 184 is a classical V-belt from the Red Power series, built for drives that need a reliable, standard-profile belt. Before you fit it, take a few minutes to inspect the drive and sheaves. A worn or misaligned sheave will shorten the life of any new belt.
This belt has a B profile with a 17 mm top width, 11 mm height and a 40-degree angle. The outside length is 4750 mm. It is a classical V-belt, not a narrow wedge or cogged design, so it suits the standard B-section pulleys found on many industrial drives.
Check the sheave grooves for wear, rust or embedded debris. Look for a step or ridge where the belt rides; if the groove is worn oversize, the new belt will sit too low and slip. Verify that the sheaves are aligned with a straightedge or laser, and confirm the center distance and take-up allowance match the 4750 mm belt length.
Spin the drive by hand and listen for bearing noise. Inspect the old belt for cracks, glazing or missing cords, and note how it failed. If the drive runs multiple belts, replace them as a set so the load is shared evenly. The same size is also listed under Gates B 184.
To request a quote, send the part number B 184, the quantity and any details about the drive. If you are unsure whether this is the correct belt, include the old belt marking and the sheave dimensions.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the B profile mean for my drive?
- The B profile is a classical V-belt section with a 17 mm top width, 11 mm height and 40-degree angle. It fits standard B-section sheaves. Confirm your sheave groove matches this profile before ordering.
- How do I check if my sheaves are worn?
- Inspect the groove for a step or ridge where the belt rides. A worn groove can be oversize, causing the belt to sit too low and slip. If you see uneven wear or a visible step, the sheave may need attention.
- Can I replace just one belt on a multi-belt drive?
- On a drive with multiple belts, replace them as a set. Mixing a new belt with old ones can cause uneven load sharing and premature failure. This belt has a 4750 mm outside length.
