The Optibelt BB 42 DK is a double-V, or hexagonal, belt in the BB profile. Before fitting a new belt, inspect the drive and sheaves to confirm they are ready for service. This page covers what to check and how to request a quote for the BB 42 DK.
Double-V belts run on both sides of the belt and are used where a drive needs power transmitted from more than one sheave or in reversing configurations. Inspect the sheave grooves for wear, scoring, or debris that can shorten belt life. Check that the sheaves are aligned and that the belt sits correctly in the grooves.
The Optibelt BB 42 DK is identified by its BB profile and its part number. The same size is also listed under Gates BB 42. When replacing a double-V belt, confirm the profile and the part number on the old belt before ordering. If the old belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the cross-section and note the drive details.
