AX Series Cogged V-Belts – Superior Flexibility and Power for Industrial Applications
High-Efficiency Performance for Demanding Drive Systems
AX Series Cogged V-belts are engineered to deliver exceptional flexibility, improved heat dissipation, and higher horsepower capacity compared to standard classical A-series belts. Designed for high-speed and high-torque industrial applications, these belts feature precision-molded cogs on the inner surface, enabling tighter bend radii and more efficient operation on smaller pulley diameters.
AX Series Belt Specifications
Optimized Construction for Strength, Cooling, and Long Life
AX cogged belts maintain the same dimensional profile as classical A-series belts while offering enhanced performance benefits due to their notched construction.
Key Specifications:
-
Top Width: 1/2" (0.50")
-
Height: 5/16" (0.312")
-
Pitch Length: ≈ Outside Length – 2.0"
-
Construction: Precision-molded cogs for increased flexibility and airflow
-
Material: High-strength rubber with polyester tensile cords
-
Temperature Range: –30°F to 140°F
-
Resistance: Oil, heat, and static conductive
-
Standards: Meets or exceeds RMA/ARPM performance specifications
The cogged design reduces bending stress, allowing smoother operation, lower heat buildup, and extended belt life—especially in compact drives or high-speed systems.
Common Industrial Applications
High-Performance Power Transmission Across Multiple Industries
AX Series Cogged V-belts are ideal for equipment requiring efficient power transfer, reduced slippage, and extended operating life. Common uses include:
