Bando 3VX1060 Cogged V-belt 3VX 106 in Ol 3/8 in Width

Product Description

The BANDO 3VX1060 is a narrow cogged V-belt designed for industrial and HVAC drive applications where heat and oil exposure are common. Built from rubber with a cogged profile, this belt reduces flexing resistance and runs cooler than standard wrapped belts, making it well suited for high-speed, high-efficiency drive systems. The 3VX section measures 3/8 inch wide and 5/16 inch thick, with a 106-inch outside length. It meets ARPM standards and is rated for heat and oil resistance. Licensed technicians and mechanical contractors use this belt as a direct replacement in motor-to-blower and fan drive assemblies.

The 3VX1060 fits 3VX-section sheave grooves found in residential and light commercial HVAC air handlers, packaged units, and industrial blower drives. The cogged underside allows the belt to flex smoothly around smaller sheave diameters, reducing slippage and improving power transfer efficiency. This belt is appropriate for any application calling for a 3VX-section belt with a 106-inch outside length.

Key Features

• Cogged profile reduces flexing resistance and heat buildup during operation
• Heat resistant and oil resistant rubber construction for demanding drive environments
• 3VX narrow section for compatibility with high-speed, compact sheave setups
• Meets ARPM industry standards for V-belt performance and dimensional accuracy
• 106-inch outside length with 3/8-inch width and 5/16-inch thickness
• Single-belt packaging with no minimum order requirement beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for any drive system specifying a 3VX-section cogged V-belt with a 106-inch outside length and 3/8-inch belt width, including HVAC blower drives, fan assemblies, and industrial power transmission applications.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor with the unit powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Always inspect sheaves for wear, misalignment, and debris before installing a new belt. Adjust drive tension according to the equipment manufacturer's specifications using a belt tension gauge. Never force the belt over sheave flanges with tools, as this can damage the cord structure and shorten belt life.
