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 Dunlop VS50W2240 is a W50 variable-speed belt to ISO 1604, with a 50mm pitch width and a 2240mm pitch length (marked W50 x 2240). It’s a good-value replacement belt from Dunlop.

Variable-speed belts are wide, flexible belts that run on adjustable (variable-pitch) pulleys, so the machine’s speed can be changed smoothly without stopping. They’re used on drill presses, lathes, milling machines, mixers, conveyors and agricultural machinery. The extra width gives the pulleys room to move the belt up and down for a wide speed range.

Check it’s the right belt

  • The old belt should be marked W50 x 2240 or VS50W2240. The W number is the pitch width in mm and the second number is the pitch length in mm.
  • Match the width exactly. On a variable-speed drive the width matters more than the length: a belt that’s too narrow or too wide will reduce the speed range or slip.
  • If the markings have worn off, call us with the machine make and model and we’ll find the right belt.

Not quite the right length? The nearest sizes are VS50W2000 and VS50W2500. Not sure? Call 020 8138 2848 and we’ll help you find the right belt.
