The Optibelt BB 230 is a double-V (hexagonal) belt in the DK series, with a BB profile. We carry it for drives that use hexagonal belts running on both sides. The same size is also listed under Gates BB 230.

Before fitting the BB 230, inspect the drive. Check the sheave grooves for wear, rust, or embedded debris, since a worn groove will not support the belt correctly and can shorten its life. Confirm the sheaves are aligned and that the take-up has enough travel to tension the new belt.

Check the old belt for the profile marking on the back and measure its length. The BB profile and the 230 length identify this belt. If the old belt is stretched, glazed, or has a damaged tensile member, replace it. Where a drive uses multiple belts, fit a full set so the load is shared evenly.

For a quote, send the part number BB 230, the profile, and the quantity you need. If you are unsure whether this is the correct belt for your drive, send a photo of the marking on the old belt and the sheave dimensions, and our team will confirm it or suggest an equivalent.
