BX Series Cogged V-Belts – Heavy-Duty Performance with Enhanced Flexibility
Engineered for High-Load, High-Speed Industrial Drive Systems
BX Series Cogged V-Belts deliver exceptional strength, superior flexibility, and reliable power transmission for demanding industrial applications. Built on the proven Classical B-series profile, BX belts feature a precision-notched (cogged) underside that significantly improves bending capability, reduces internal heat buildup, and enhances overall belt efficiency. This design allows BX belts to handle higher horsepower loads while operating efficiently on smaller pulley diameters, making them ideal for compact or high-speed drive systems.
Manufactured using premium rubber compounds and reinforced with high-tensile polyester cords, these belts offer excellent resistance to oil, heat, and static, ensuring long service life under challenging operating conditions. Their cogged construction reduces slippage, improves traction, and provides consistent performance in continuous-duty environments.
