This Optibelt BB 228 DK is a double-V (hexagonal) belt with a BB profile. It is built for drives that need power transmitted from both sides of the belt, so the sheave and pulley condition matters as much as the belt itself.
Before fitting the BB 228, inspect the drive. Check sheave grooves for wear, rust, burrs or embedded debris. Worn or polished grooves let a new belt sit too deep, which changes the effective diameter and can cause slip or heat. Confirm the sheaves are aligned and the take-up has enough travel to tension the belt correctly.
The same size is also listed under Gates BB 228. If you are matching a belt already on the machine, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare it with the BB profile and the BB 228 part number. Send that part number and the drive details for a quote.
For a quote, send the part number BB 228 and the quantity you need. If you want us to confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent, include the old belt marking and the drive arrangement. We carry Optibelt and can help you match the belt to the application.
