With a 175-inch outside length, 0.5-inch width, and 5\/16-inch thickness, this rubber belt delivers reliable torque transfer across pulleys and sheaves. The cogged construction reduces flex resistance, which lowers heat buildup and improves efficiency compared to standard wrapped belts. Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction extends service life in demanding environments. The belt meets ARPM standards and weighs approximately 0.993 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AX173 is suited for use in residential and light commercial HVAC blower drives, refrigeration units, compressor drives, and general industrial equipment requiring an AX-section belt. The cogged profile allows it to run on smaller-diameter sheaves without excessive bending stress, making it a common choice for replacement drives in air handlers, rooftop units, and belt-driven fan assemblies. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical technicians typically handle this installation in systems where motor-to-blower power transfer is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCogged profile reduces flex resistance and heat buildup for improved efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e175-inch outside length with 173-inch internal length for precise fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAX section with 0.5-inch width and 0.31-inch thickness for standard sheave compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ARPM belt standards for dimensional and performance consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack rubber finish with classic cogged style for versatile drive applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for equipment requiring an AX-section cogged V-belt with a 175-inch outside length and 1\/2-inch belt width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical technician. Always disconnect and lock out electrical power to the drive system before removing or installing a belt. Do not pry or roll the belt onto sheaves with sharp tools, as this can damage the cord structure. After installation, verify proper belt tension and sheave alignment before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eOutside Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 175 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 173 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 174.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance Features\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat Resistant, Oil Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ARPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.993 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: AX173\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BANDO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541933195570,"sku":"AX173","price":35.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a22f870a8dc9d23b52f17936476304c9_2da6af69-0850-4cd7-a2fd-6c6e10fdf291.jpg?v=1785887944","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bando-ax173-cogged-v-belt-ax-section-175-in-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
