The ConCar BB 236 V-belt with a length of 6,000 mm is a classic drive component for B-profile applications. Its 17 × 11 mm cross-sectional dimensions ensure a positive drive connection between the pulley and belt. This specific length makes it particularly suitable for repairs and replacements where an existing B-profile pulley needs to be reused.
With a length of 6,000 mm, this version belongs to the upper size range within the B-series offered here. Such longer lengths are used in appropriately dimensioned drives; the specific design, the pulleys, and the drive power remain crucial.
The B-profile is a classic V-belt according to DIN 2215 / ISO 4184. Its cross-section measures 17 × 11 mm. The flank angle of the classic V-profile is 40°. The specified Li-length refers to the inner length of the specific belt.
The B-belt is a classic, wrapped V-belt. The tensile cords for load transmission run inside the rubber body, while the outer fabric protects the belt surface. The source describes the B-belt as heat-resistant, oil-resistant, and antistatic. This makes it suitable for environments where dust, oil, or elevated temperatures may be present.
B-type V-belts are frequently used in agricultural machinery, industrial fan and pump drives, as well as in manufacturing and conveyor systems. The wide profile is designed for classic B-type pulleys and is used in numerous machine designs.
Correct tension is essential for drive system design. Insufficient tension can promote slippage and heat generation, while excessive tension puts greater stress on the belt and bearings. Therefore, the tension should be set according to the machine or belt manufacturer's specifications. The alignment of the pulleys also affects the belt's operation.
For a suitable drive system, the belt profile, effective pulleys, and belt length must be compatible. Only the combination of motor power, speed, gear ratio, and operating conditions will determine whether the selected belt size is suitable for the machine. In multi-belt drives, the belts must be selected according to their intended configuration.
A V-belt does not require complex maintenance. Regular visual inspections and tension checks as part of routine maintenance are advisable. If cracks, excessive wear, or damage are found, the belt should be replaced and the cause of the premature wear investigated.
Until installation, the belt should be stored dry, clean, and protected from direct sunlight, heat sources, and oil. It should not be unnecessarily bent or subjected to stress from sharp objects.
Suitable classic V-belts can be found on the market from manufacturers such as Gates, Optibelt, Continental, and Megadyne. Switching brands only makes sense if the belt's technical specifications are compatible with the existing drive system. Therefore, the profile and length of this ConCar belt are the key specifications for comparison.
What does Li mean?
Li stands for the inner length of the V-belt. For this item, the specified inner length is 6,000 mm.
How do I identify the correct size?
The key factors are profile B, the inner length Li of 6,000 mm, and the matching pulley. The additional length specifications Ld and La serve to clearly define the size.
Can a different brand of belt be used?
For a replacement, the profile and length must match and be compatible with the existing drive. The brand alone is not a sufficient selection criterion.
You will receive the selected ConCar V-belt in the specified profile and length. The specifications in the product name (B, B 236, 6,000 Li and 17 × 11 mm) are decisive for the order. Availability is indicated separately in the shop.
