The Optibelt BCP 490 is a classical V-belt from the Conveyor Power series, built for drives that need a long, single belt. It has a B profile, a 40-degree angle, a 17 mm top width, an 11 mm height, and a 12522 mm length.

Before you fit the BCP 490, inspect the drive. Check the sheaves for worn grooves, rust, and buildup. A groove that has worn wide lets the belt sit too deep, so it slips and runs hot. Confirm the sheaves are aligned and the shafts turn freely. If the old belt failed early, the sheaves are often the cause.

Match the belt to the drive by profile and length. The B profile and 12522 mm length must match the sheave grooves and the center distance. Read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare it with the part number you are replacing. If the marking is worn away, measure the outside length and confirm the top width and height.

For a quote, send the part number BCP 490, the quantity, and the drive details. If you are unsure about the profile or length, send a photo of the belt marking and the sheave. We carry Optibelt belts and can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
