Bando 170XL050G Xl Timing Belt 85 Teeth Neoprene

Product Description

The BANDO 170XL050G is an XL-section synchronous timing belt designed for precision power transmission in light-duty industrial and mechanical drive applications. Constructed from neoprene with a fiberglass tension cord, this belt delivers consistent tooth engagement and dimensional stability across a wide temperature range. The belt features 85 trapezoidal teeth on a 0.200-inch pitch, yielding a 17.00-inch pitch length. At 0.029 pounds, it is suited for compact drive systems where accurate indexing and low-backlash performance are required. Licensed trades and mechanical technicians working on HVAC blower assemblies, small conveyor systems, or precision equipment drives will encounter this belt profile regularly.

The 170XL050G fits Series XL belt drive systems that require a 17.00-inch pitch length, 0.50-inch width, and trapezoidal tooth profile. Common applications include fan and blower drives, pump drives, office equipment, and light industrial machinery where synchronous motion is critical. The XL section is a widely used standard pitch in North American drive component inventories, making this belt a straightforward drop-in for worn or damaged OEM belts in matching drive configurations. Operating temperature range spans -22 degrees F to 194 degrees F, covering most mechanical room and light industrial environments.

Key Features

• Neoprene construction resists oil, heat, and environmental exposure in mechanical drive environments
• Fiberglass tension cord maintains pitch length stability under load and minimizes belt stretch
• Trapezoidal tooth profile ensures positive engagement and accurate synchronous indexing
• Wide operating range from -22 degrees F to 194 degrees F suits varied service conditions
• 85-tooth count on 0.200-inch pitch delivers a precise 17.00-inch pitch length for exact replacement fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for Series XL synchronous belt drives requiring a 17.00-inch pitch length and 0.50-inch belt width with a trapezoidal tooth profile.

Installation Notes

Timing belt replacement is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or HVAC technician. De-energize all drive equipment and lock out the power source before removing belt guards or accessing drive components. Do not force the belt over sheave flanges using a screwdriver or pry bar, as this can damage the tension cord. Verify pulley alignment and center distance adjustment before tensioning the new belt.
