Optibelt WR 5M wide angle belts

Polyurethane V-belts · 60° wide angle · 5M section

Optibelt WR belts are polyurethane wide angle V-belts from Optibelt, our premier brand. Their 60° profile gives a large contact area for strong grip in a very compact belt, so they transmit high power in small spaces with reduced vibration. They’re used on compact drives, engines and automotive applications, and machinery where space is tight. Search by the code on the old belt, such as 5M-775, and use the filters to narrow it down by length.

Choosing an Optibelt WR 5M belt

Reading the codeThe code gives the section and length. 5M-775 is a 5M section wide angle belt 775mm long. Match both from your old belt.

Wide angle pulleys onlyWR belts have a 60° profile and need matching wide angle pulleys. They won’t run correctly in standard V-belt pulleys, and standard V-belts won’t fit wide angle pulleys.

Check the sectionThe number in the section, such as 5M, relates to the belt’s size. If your belt is noticeably wider or narrower, see the other WR sections.

Tip: wide angle belts are easily confused with ribbed or standard V-belts. Look at the belt in cross-section: a WR belt has a single, wide V-profile with a much flatter angle than a standard V-belt.
