This Optibelt BX 55 KB is a banded V-belt from the KBX series, with a length of 1473 mm. Banded construction ties multiple V-belts together so they run as a matched set on drives with several grooves. It is used where a single belt would be prone to whip, flip or uneven loading.

Banded V-belts are common on drives that carry pulsating or shock loads, such as crushers, mixers, compressors and some agricultural and industrial fans. Because the ribs are joined by a top tie band, the belt stays in its grooves and keeps the sheaves turning together. When you inspect the drive, check every groove for wear, look for glazing or cracks across the tie band, and confirm the sheave alignment before fitting a replacement.

To confirm this belt fits your drive, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare the profile and length. This Optibelt belt is a BX profile with a length of 1473 mm. If the old belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and count the number of ribs in the banded set. Send that information with your quote request and we will help you match it to the correct Optibelt part.

We carry the Optibelt BX 55 KB for maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams. Send the part number, the quantity and any details from the drive nameplate by WhatsApp or email, and we will reply promptly. If you need help confirming the right belt or an equivalent, include the profile, length and number of ribs so we can check it against your application.
