The Optibelt C 136 KB is a banded V-belt in the C profile. Banded construction ties multiple V-belt strands together so they run as one unit on multi-groove drives. Before you fit this belt, inspect the drive and sheaves.
Check each sheave groove for wear, rust, burrs or embedded debris. Worn or misaligned sheaves can damage a new banded belt quickly. Confirm the sheave grooves match the C profile, and verify alignment across the drive so all strands share the load evenly. If the old belt failed early, the sheaves are the first place to look.
Measure the existing belt and compare it with the Optibelt C 136 KB. The marking on the back of the old belt gives the profile and length you need to match. If the marking is worn off, measure the outside length and check the drive's sheave grooves. Send us the part number and we will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.
On banded drives, replace the full set at once. Mixing a new belt with worn belts in the same banded set can overload the new strands. After fitting, recheck tension and alignment, then run the drive and inspect again.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check before fitting the Optibelt C 136 KB?
- Inspect the sheaves for groove wear, rust, burrs and debris, and check that the drive is aligned. Confirm the grooves are correct for the C profile. Correcting sheave problems before fitting helps the new belt run properly.
- How do I confirm the Optibelt C 136 KB is the right belt?
- Read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare the profile and length with the C 136 KB. If the marking is not clear, measure the old belt and send us the details. We reply promptly by WhatsApp or email.
- Can I replace only one belt in a banded set?
- No. Banded V-belts are made to run as a set, so replace the full set at one time. Mixing old and new belts in the same set can cause uneven loading and early failure.
