The Optibelt D 173 KB is a banded V-belt in the KB series. Banded construction ties multiple V-belt strands together so they run as one unit on multi-groove drives. This belt is used where several V-belts share a single driven sheave and must stay matched in length.
On a banded V-belt, the tie band across the top holds the strands at a fixed spacing. That keeps the strands from turning over in the grooves and from whipping on drives with pulsating loads. It is common on heavy-duty drives that would otherwise need a set of individual V-belts.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare it to D 173 KB. Check the belt profile against the sheave groove and check the length against the drive. Also confirm the number of grooves on both sheaves matches the number of strands in the band.
If you are unsure, send the part number and a photo of the belt marking and the sheaves to our team. We can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this is the correct belt for my drive?
- Match the profile and length to the drive, and check that the number of strands matches the number of grooves on the sheaves. The part number on the back of the old belt is the best reference.
- What does banded mean on a V-belt?
- A banded V-belt has multiple V-belt strands joined by a top tie band. They run as one unit, which keeps the strands aligned and reduces turnover and whip on multi-groove drives.
- What should I send to get a quote?
- Send the part number D 173 KB, the quantity, and any details from the old belt marking or the drive. Our team replies by WhatsApp or email.
