Measuring Your Belt

Check the markings first. Most belts have their size printed on the back, for example A24, SPZ1000 or 8PK1200. Type that code into the search bar to find the exact match.

Markings worn off? Measure across the top of the belt for the width, and its depth. For the length, wrap a piece of string round the belt, mark where it meets, then lay the string flat and measure it.

Timing or ribbed belt? Count the teeth or ribs, and measure the gap between them.

The Optibelt VB 5 x 260 is a 5mm section classical V-belt with a 260mm inside length. It’s made by Optibelt, our premier brand, for light-duty drives where space is tight, such as small machine tools, sewing and textile machines, office and laboratory equipment, and hobby and model machinery.

Optibelt VB belts have a wrapped construction for smooth, quiet running and a long, consistent life. They’re made to Optibelt’s S=C PLUS standard, so belts of the same size can be used together as a set without measuring and matching.

Check it’s the right belt

  • The old belt should be marked 5 x 260, or measure 5mm across the top and 3mm deep.
  • If the size has worn off, wrap a piece of string round the inside of the belt, mark it and measure the string. It should come to 260mm.
  • If your belt is wider than 5mm, see our 6mm and 8mm sections.

Not quite the right length? The nearest sizes are 5 x 229 and 5 x 280, or see all 5mm section belts. Not sure? Call 020 8138 2848 and we’ll help you find the right belt.
