workshop machinery, garden equipment and agricultural machinery. We stock A section belts from several
leading manufacturers, so you can choose the right balance of performance and price for your drive. Search

Finding the right A section belt
Reading the codeA68 means an A section belt with a 68 inch inside length (1727mm). Metric sizes may show the inside length (Li) or the datum length (Ld), which on A section is 30mm longer, so check which your belt uses.
Which brand?Every belt here fits the same A section pulleys. Choose Optibelt for the longest life on hard-working or continuous drives, or a value brand for occasional-use machinery.
Is it really A section?An A section belt is 13mm wide and 8mm deep. A wedge belt of a similar width (SPA) is deeper, at 10mm, and light-duty 4L garden belts are a different construction.
Tip: on drives with two or more belts, replace them all at once with a matched set of the same brand. For small pulleys or hot-running drives, a cogged AX belt of the same length is a straight upgrade.
