The Optibelt B 188 is a classical V-belt in the VB / Red Power series. Its profile and length are the key selection data: a B-profile belt measuring 4851 mm. The top width is 17 mm, the height is 11 mm, and the angle is 40°.
For a maintenance or purchasing professional, the profile sets the cross-section that must match the pulley groove, and the length sets the fit on the drive. This belt uses the B profile, so the 17 mm top width and 11 mm height define its cross-section. The 40° angle is the included angle of the belt. The datum length is 4851 mm, which is the dimension to compare against the existing belt or the drive specification.
The same size is also listed under Gates B 188, so that reference can be used when matching an existing belt. To confirm the right belt, read the marking on the back of the old belt and send the part number, profile and length. If the marking is worn, measure the top width and the length and send those values. We can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
When you request a quote, include the part number B 188 and the quantity. If you are replacing a set, note that the drive uses multiple belts so we can help you match the set.
