Bando 5vx1320 Narrow Cogged V-belt 5/8 in 132 in Ol

Product Description

The BANDO 5vx1320 is a narrow cogged V-belt designed for power transmission applications in industrial and commercial equipment. Built from rubber compound construction, this belt features a cogged (notched) underside that increases flexibility, reduces heat buildup, and improves efficiency over standard wrapped V-belts of the same cross section. The 5VX section designation indicates a narrow profile measuring 5/8 inch wide with a 132 inch outside length. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and industrial service pros install this belt type on belt-driven blowers, fans, compressors, and pumps.

This belt is suited for residential and commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, agricultural machinery, and general industrial drives where a narrow 5VX-section belt is specified. The cogged design allows use on smaller sheave diameters compared to standard wrapped belts, making it a practical choice for compact drive configurations. It is commonly found on rooftop units, air handlers, and fan-drive assemblies where belt-driven components require reliable, consistent torque transfer.

Key Features

• 5VX narrow cogged section for improved flexibility and reduced heat generation
• 5/8 inch top width matches standard 5VX sheave groove dimensions
• 132 inch outside length for long-span drive configurations
• Rubber compound construction resists cracking and wear under continuous load
• Cogged underside permits use on smaller-diameter sheaves without excessive bending stress
• Black finish standard for rubber V-belt applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for any drive system specifying a 5VX1320 narrow cogged V-belt with a 5/8 inch section width and 132 inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following lockout/tagout procedures before servicing any belt-driven equipment. Power down and de-energize the unit completely before removing the old belt or installing the new one. Do not use tools to force the belt onto sheaves; adjust the drive tensioner or motor mount to allow slack for seating, then tension to the drive manufacturer's specification. Inspect sheave grooves for wear or misalignment before installing a replacement belt.
