This is an Optibelt B 240 KB banded V-belt from the KB / Red Power series, with a length of 6172 mm. Banded V-belts are used on drives that run multiple V-belt grooves in parallel, where the belts are joined across the top to keep them from turning over or whipping. Use the part number and length on this page to confirm the belt matches your drive before you request a quote.
On a banded V-belt, the tie band holds two or more V-belts together so they track as one unit. That construction is common on high-ratio or pulsating drives, and on layouts where single belts have a history of flipping in the groove or slapping between pulleys. The B 240 KB is a single part number covering the full banded set, so the drive is matched as one assembly rather than as loose belts.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing and compare the part number and length to this listing. Check that the number of ribs in the band matches the number of grooves on each pulley, and that the pulleys are aligned and the grooves are not worn. If the old belt is unreadable, measure the outside length and note the profile and number of ribs, then send those details for a quote.
Banded belts are normally replaced as a complete set, because mixing a new band with worn belts changes how the load is shared. Inspect the pulleys for wear, oil or debris at the same time, and confirm the tension is set to the drive manufacturer's specification. If you need help matching the number, send the belt marking or the drive details and the team will confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this Optibelt B 240 KB fits my drive?
- Compare the part number and the 6172 mm length to the marking on the belt you are replacing. Also check that the band has the same number of ribs as the number of grooves on your pulleys.
- Can I replace only part of a banded V-belt set?
- Banded V-belts are replaced as a complete set. A partial replacement changes how the load is shared across the band and can lead to early failure of the remaining belts.
- What should I send to get a quote for this belt?
- Send the part number B 240 KB, or the marking from the old belt if it is different. If the marking is unreadable, send the profile, the outside length and the number of ribs.
