Manufactured from rubber with a cogged profile, the belt reduces bending resistance, runs cooler, and delivers higher efficiency than standard smooth-back belts of the same section. The AX section profile measures 1\/2 inch wide and 5\/16 inch thick, with an outside length of 160 inches and a belt pitch of 159.3 inches. This belt weighs approximately 0.98 pounds. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals install this belt on blower and fan drive systems across a wide range of commercial and industrial equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AX158 is suited for residential and commercial HVAC air handlers, rooftop units, centrifugal fans, and general-purpose belt-drive machinery where an AX-section cogged belt is specified. The cogged design allows the belt to flex around smaller sheave diameters without the heat buildup and fatigue associated with standard V-belts, making it a practical choice for high-cycle blower and fan applications. Install this belt wherever the OEM specification or drive-design calls for a 160-inch outside length AX-section cogged belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCogged rubber construction reduces bending resistance and operating temperature compared to smooth V-belts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAX section: 1\/2 inch wide, 5\/16 inch thick profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e160-inch outside length with 159.3-inch pitch length for accurate drive sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e158-inch internal length for compatibility verification during replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-belt packaging with no minimum order requirement beyond one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct replacement for AX-section cogged V-belt drive systems requiring a 160-inch outside length belt. Consult the driven equipment nameplate or OEM drive specification to confirm sheave groove profile and belt section before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical service professional. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing guards or handling the drive belt. Never force a belt onto a sheave using a pry tool; loosen the motor mounting or tensioner to allow proper belt seating. After installation, set belt tension per the equipment manufacturer specification and re-inspect tension after the first few hours of operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Section\u003c\/strong\u003e: AX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Classic Cogged V-Belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Pitch Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Internal Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 158 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.982 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BANDO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AX158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BANDO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540463026482,"sku":"AX158","price":79.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a22f870a8dc9d23b52f17936476304c9_36a25802-622e-45fd-9b2b-7b3cfec542cb.jpg?v=1785855980","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bando-ax158-cogged-v-belt-ax-section-160-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
