Description
OPTIBELT B 55 KB belongs to v-belt, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for B 55 KB and any equivalents.
The Optibelt B 55 KB is a banded V-belt in the KB series with a length of 1473 mm. The B profile and the 1473 mm length are the two figures that identify this belt on a drive, so both belong in the quote request.
A banded V-belt ties two or more V-belts together with a common backing. That construction keeps the ribs running as one unit across a multi-groove drive, which is why banded belts are used where a set of single belts would tend to turn over or whip. The B profile sets the cross-section that has to sit in the sheave groove, and 1473 mm is the length to match against the drive.
When you send a request, give the part number B 55 KB and the length of 1473 mm. If the belt on the machine carries a different number, read the marking on the back of the belt and send that instead, along with the number of ribs in the band and the sheave groove profile. Our team can confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.
Banded belts are normally replaced as a complete unit, not rib by rib. Before ordering, check the sheaves for worn grooves and any buildup in the bottom of the grooves, and check the tension and alignment on the drive. If the previous band failed early, those are the points to look at first.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I request a quote for the Optibelt B 55 KB?
- Send the part number B 55 KB, the length of 1473 mm, and the number of ribs in the band by WhatsApp or email. If you have the old belt, include a photo of the marking on the back. Our team replies promptly and can confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
- What do the profile and length tell me about this belt?
- The B profile is the cross-section that must match the sheave groove, and 1473 mm is the belt length. Both figures need to match the drive, so quote them together when you ask for a replacement.
- Should I replace the whole banded belt or just one rib?
- A banded V-belt is built as one unit with a common backing, so it is replaced as a unit rather than rib by rib. While the belt is off, inspect the sheave grooves for wear and check alignment and tension before installing the new belt.
