The Optibelt RB PL 1981 is a Poly-V (multi-rib) belt with a PL profile and a 1981 mm length. Poly-V belts are used on drives that need a thin, flexible belt with a large contact area, such as compact serpentine layouts on industrial equipment. This page covers how to confirm the belt fits your drive.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing. The profile must read PL and the length must read 1981 mm. Match both against this Optibelt RB belt before ordering; a belt that is close in length but a different profile will not seat correctly in the pulley grooves.
The same size is also listed under Gates PL 1981. If your drive was built around that size, this Optibelt belt is the equivalent size to specify. Send the part number, the profile and the length when you request a quote, and the team can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
