Bando 5VX900 Cogged V-belt 5VX 90 Inch 5/8 Inch Width

Product Description

The BANDO 5VX900 is a narrow cogged V-belt designed for industrial and HVAC drive applications requiring efficient power transmission. Built from rubber with a cogged profile, this belt reduces bending resistance and runs cooler than standard wrapped belts, making it well suited for high-speed, high-load drives. The 5VX section measures 5/8 inch wide and 17/32 inch thick, with a 90 inch outside length. It carries ARPM standards compliance and is rated for both heat and oil resistance, extending service life in demanding mechanical environments where exposure to elevated temperatures or lubricant mist is common.

This belt is used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, fan drives, blower assemblies, compressor drives, and general industrial equipment where 5VX narrow-section belts are specified. The cogged design improves flexibility around smaller sheave diameters, reducing heat buildup and slippage. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and millwrights commonly install this belt during routine maintenance or as a direct replacement on belt-driven blower and fan systems. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• Cogged profile reduces flex fatigue and heat buildup on small-diameter sheaves
• Heat resistant and oil resistant rubber construction for demanding drive environments
• 5VX narrow section delivers higher power capacity than classical belts in the same envelope
• ARPM standards compliant for consistent dimensional and performance tolerances
• 90 inch outside length suits long center-distance drive configurations
• Black rubber construction with uniform 17/32 inch thickness for consistent sheave seating

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for 5VX900 narrow cogged V-belts in any drive system specifying the 5VX belt section with a 90 inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Disengage and lock out all power to the drive system before removing the old belt or installing the new one. Never pry a V-belt over sheave flanges using a screwdriver or bar; reduce center distance to allow hand installation, then re-tension per the drive manufacturer's deflection specification. Inspect sheave grooves for wear or misalignment before fitting the new belt.
