Bando 5VX560 Cogged V-belt 5VX 56 Inch

Product Description

The BANDO 5VX560 is a narrow cogged V-belt designed for power transmission in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive applications. Built to the 5VX belt section standard, it measures 56 inches in outside length and 5/8 inch in width, with a thickness of 17/32 inch. The cogged construction reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to run cooler and more efficiently on smaller-diameter sheaves. Made from rubber with heat-resistant and oil-resistant properties, it meets ARPM standards and is suited for continuous-duty drive systems. Licensed HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals install this belt type on blower assemblies, condenser fan drives, and general mechanical equipment.

This belt is appropriate for use in residential and commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, and general industrial machinery where a 5VX-section drive belt is specified. It is a direct replacement for any application calling out a 5VX560 belt. The cogged profile makes it compatible with standard 5VX sheaves and variable-speed drives that require a narrow-section belt. Installation is straightforward on properly aligned drives with adequate tension adjustment travel.

Key Features

• Cogged construction reduces heat buildup and improves flexibility on smaller sheaves
• Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber compound for demanding service environments
• Narrow 5VX section profile for high-power-to-size-ratio drive systems
• Meets ARPM industry standards for V-belt dimensions and performance
• 56 inch outside length suits a wide range of commercial and residential drive configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for any drive system specifying a 5VX560 narrow cogged V-belt with a 5VX belt section.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing drive belts. Never pry a belt over sheave flanges with sharp tools, as this can damage the belt cords and cause premature failure. After installation, verify proper belt tension and sheave alignment per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
