Bando AX112 Cogged V-belt 114 in Ax Section 1/2 in

Product Description

The BANDO AX112 is a classic cogged V-belt designed for power transmission in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical drive applications. Built to AX section standards, it features a 114-inch outside length, 0.5-inch belt width, and a 5/16-inch thickness. The cogged underside reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to run cooler and flex around smaller-diameter sheaves more efficiently than a standard wrapped belt. Constructed from rubber with heat-resistant and oil-resistant properties, this belt is suited for demanding drive systems where thermal cycling and fluid exposure are common. It meets ARPM standards and is sold individually.

This belt is used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and any belt-drive application requiring an AX-section cogged belt. Typical installations include blower drive assemblies, fan drives, and pump drives where the AX section profile is specified by the OEM. The 114-inch outside length and 112-inch internal length make it appropriate for longer center-distance drive configurations. HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors regularly stock this belt section for field replacements.

Key Features

• Cogged design reduces bending resistance and heat buildup on smaller-diameter sheaves
• Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction for demanding drive environments
• AX section profile with 0.5-inch width and 5/16-inch thickness for consistent sheave fit
• Meets ARPM belt standards for dimensional accuracy and performance
• 114-inch outside length with 112-inch internal length for longer center-distance drives

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for any drive system specifying an AX section cogged V-belt with a 114-inch outside length and 1/2-inch belt width.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or millwrights. Always de-energize the equipment and lock out or tag out the power source before removing or installing any drive belt. Relieve drive tension using the manufacturer-specified adjustment mechanism before removal, and verify sheave alignment and condition before installing the new belt. Never pry a belt onto a sheave with a tool, as this can damage the belt cords.
