Description
OPTIBELT PL 3696 belongs to poly-V belt, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for PL 3696 and any equivalents.
This is an Optibelt RB Poly-V (multi-rib) belt in the PL profile, with a length of 3696 mm. It is the belt to specify when a drive calls for a PL-section serpentine belt of that length. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves.
A new belt will not correct a worn drive. Check the sheaves for grooves, ridges, burrs, corrosion or debris, and confirm the grooves match the PL profile. Misaligned sheaves and damaged grooves wear a Poly-V belt quickly, so correct alignment and clean grooves before installation.
Confirm the belt marking on the old part reads PL 3696, then match the profile and length. The same size is also listed under Gates PL 3696, which gives you a second reference when you compare what is on the drive.
To request a quote, send the part number PL 3696, the quantity and the drive details by WhatsApp or email. If you are unsure of the profile, send a photo of the back of the belt and the sheave grooves, and the team can help confirm the right belt.
