The Optibelt C 99 KB is a banded V-belt in the C section. Banded construction ties the individual belts together so they run as one unit across a multi-groove drive. Before you fit a replacement, inspect the sheaves and the rest of the drive.
Check each sheave groove for wear, rust, or buildup. A worn groove lets the belt sit too deep and slip, and a new belt will not fix a bad sheave. Look for cracks, chips, or a ridge at the bottom of the groove. Measure groove wear with a sheave gauge if you have one, and replace any sheave that is out of spec.
Confirm alignment between the driver and driven sheaves. Misalignment side-loads a banded belt and can break the tie band. Check that the shafts are parallel and the grooves line up. Also check the tensioner and any idler pulleys for smooth rotation and play.
When you order, send the belt marking and the drive details. For the Optibelt C 99 KB, the code identifies the section and the banded construction. Tell us the sheave groove count and the center distance so we can confirm the fit.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check on the sheaves before installing a banded V-belt?
- Inspect every groove for wear, rust, and buildup. A groove that is worn oversize or has a ridge at the bottom will not grip the belt correctly. Replace sheaves that are out of spec before fitting the new belt.
- How do I identify the Optibelt C 99 KB on the drive?
- Read the marking on the back of the belt. The code C 99 KB shows the section and the banded type. Send us that marking with the number of grooves and the drive layout, and we will confirm the belt for your application.
- Can I replace just one belt in a banded set?
- A banded V-belt is made as a single unit, so you replace the whole belt, not individual strands. If the drive uses more than one banded belt, fit a complete new set so the load is shared evenly.
