Bando 3vx300 Cogged Wedge V-belt 30 in Ol 3/8 in Wide

Product Description

The BANDO 3vx300 is a cogged wedge V-belt designed for power transmission applications in industrial and commercial equipment. The cog profile reduces bending resistance, which improves flexibility and efficiency compared to a standard wrapped belt of the same cross section. This belt measures 30 inches in outside length and 3/8 inch in top width with an 8 mm thickness. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service pros install this belt type on fan drives, blowers, compressors, and other belt-driven systems where a 3VX cross section is specified.

The BANDO Power Ace Cogged series is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration units, and general industrial machinery that calls for a 3VX profile belt. This belt fits single-groove and matched-set drive configurations on equipment with appropriately sized sheaves. Always verify the required cross section and outside length against the OEM drive specification before installation.

Key Features

• Cogged construction reduces bending resistance for improved flexibility and efficiency
• Wedge V-Belt profile delivers higher power transmission capacity than classical V-belts of similar width
• 30-inch outside length suits a wide range of common drive configurations
• 3/8-inch top width matches the 3VX cross-section standard
• 8 mm thickness maintains proper sheave contact and seating depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for belt-driven equipment requiring a 3VX300 cogged wedge V-belt with a 30-inch outside length and 3/8-inch top width.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or mechanical service technicians. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before removing the old belt or installing a new one. Use a belt tension gauge to set proper tension per the equipment manufacturer's specification — overtensioning shortens belt and bearing life, while undertensioning causes slippage and heat buildup. Inspect sheave grooves for wear, misalignment, or debris before seating the new belt.
