This Optibelt SPB 8000 RP belt is a narrow wedge V-belt from the Red Power 3 S=C Plus series. It has an SPB profile, a length of 8000 mm, a top width of 16.3 mm, a height of 13 mm and a 40-degree angle. Before fitting it, inspect the drive and sheaves.
Check sheave grooves for wear, scoring, corrosion or embedded debris. Worn grooves let the belt sit too deep, which reduces grip and shortens belt life. Confirm that sheave alignment is correct and that no groove has a raised edge or burr that can cut the belt sidewall. Verify that the sheave profile matches the SPB groove and that the belt sits at the correct height in the groove.
Inspect the rest of the drive while you are there. Turn the drive over by hand and check bearings for roughness, noise or play. Look for loose mounting bolts, cracked brackets or a worn bushing. Check that the belt guard is secure and that nothing rubs the belt path. If the drive uses more than one belt, replace the full set so the load is shared evenly.
When you request a quote, send the part number SPB 8000 RP and the belt marking from the back of the old belt. If the marking is worn, measure the top width, height and outside length and send those figures. Our team can confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check on the sheaves before fitting this belt?
- Check the grooves for wear, scoring, corrosion and debris. Confirm the grooves are cut for an SPB profile and that the belt sits at the correct height. Also check sheave alignment and remove any burrs or raised edges that could damage the belt.
- How do I identify this belt if the marking is worn?
- Measure the top width, height and outside length. This belt has a top width of 16.3 mm, a height of 13 mm and a length of 8000 mm. Send those measurements with the part number SPB 8000 RP so we can confirm the match.
- Should I replace all belts on a multi-belt drive at once?
- Yes. On a drive that uses more than one belt, replace the full set so all belts carry an equal share of the load. Mixing a new belt with used belts can overload the new belt and cause uneven wear.
