Bando 5VX660 Cogged V-belt 5VX 66 in 5/8 in Width

Product Description

The BANDO 5VX660 is a narrow cogged V-belt designed for high-efficiency power transmission in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive applications. Built from rubber with a cogged profile, it reduces bending resistance and runs cooler than standard wrapped belts, making it well suited for variable-speed and high-load drives. The belt conforms to ARPM standards and measures 66 inches in outside length with a 5/8-inch width and a thickness of 17/32 inch. It is rated for heat and oil resistance, extending service life in demanding environments. HVAC technicians, millwrights, and equipment service professionals are the typical installers.

The 5VX660 fits drives that call for a 5VX section narrow cogged belt. This belt profile is commonly found on belt-drive blower assemblies, fan drives, compressor drives, and general industrial equipment requiring a narrow, high-wedge belt with a cogged underside for improved flexibility and grip. It is suitable for residential and light commercial HVAC air handlers, rooftop units, and industrial machinery that specifies a 5VX660 or equivalent narrow cogged belt in the same section and length.

Key Features

• Cogged underside reduces bending stress and heat buildup on smaller-diameter sheaves
• Narrow 5VX section delivers higher power capacity per inch of width compared to classical sections
• Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction extends belt service life
• Meets ARPM industry standards for dimensional accuracy and performance
• Black rubber finish with consistent 66-inch outside length for drop-in replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for any drive system specifying a 5VX section cogged V-belt with a 66-inch outside length and 5/8-inch width meeting ARPM standards.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical service professional. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive unit before removing the belt guard or accessing sheaves. Never pry a belt onto a sheave using a screwdriver or bar; loosen the motor mount or tensioner to allow proper slip-on installation. After installation, verify tension and alignment per the equipment manufacturer specifications before restoring power.
