The Optibelt BB 168 is a double-V (hexagonal) belt in profile BB. It is used where both sides of the belt drive separate pulleys. To get the right replacement, match the part number and profile on your old belt.
The marking on the back of the belt is the fastest way to confirm the replacement. Look for BB 168 and the DK series on the old belt. If the marking is worn or missing, measure the profile and the length. The profile is BB. The length is 168 mm. Compare these values with the belt you are replacing.
The same size is also listed under Gates BB 168. That gives you a second reference when checking a belt from another supplier. Do not rely on a visual match alone. A belt with the same length but a different profile will not sit correctly in the pulley grooves. Confirm both the profile and the length before ordering.
Send the part number BB 168, the profile BB, and the length 168 mm when you request a quote. If you have the old belt, include a clear photo of the back marking. If the belt is not marked, note the pulley groove shape and the measured length. The team can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
