Banded BX Series Classical Industrial V-Belts – High-Torque Cogged Belts for Demanding Industrial Power Transmission
Banded BX Series Classical Industrial V-Belts are engineered to deliver superior power transmission performance in high-torque, high-speed, and vibration-prone industrial environments. These belts combine the enhanced flexibility of cogged BX-section belts with the stability of a unified banded construction. By permanently bonding two or more BX ribs with a durable fiber-reinforced backing, these belts ensure perfect alignment, reduced vibration, and uniform load distribution across every rib—critical for long-span and heavy-load applications.
High-Strength Cogged Design for Maximum Efficiency
The BX profile features a 21/32-inch (0.656") top width and 0.55-inch height, providing increased horsepower capacity compared to traditional wrapped belts. The precision cogged (notched) design reduces bending resistance, improves heat dissipation, and allows the belt to operate efficiently on smaller pulley diameters. This results in cooler operation, reduced energy loss, and extended belt life—especially in high-speed or shock-load conditions.
Manufactured from premium heat-, oil-, and abrasion-resistant rubber compounds, Banded BX belts are reinforced with high-strength polyester or aramid (Kevlar®) cords, offering exceptional tensile stability and minimal stretch. Their rugged construction ensures quiet, smooth operation and reliable performance even in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°F to +140°F.
