Bando ax31 Cogged V-belt Power King Series

Product Description

The BANDO ax31 is a cogged V-belt in the Power King Cogged series, designed for high-efficiency power transmission in belt-driven mechanical systems. The precision-molded raw edge cogged construction reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to run cooler and transfer power with greater efficiency than standard wrapped belts. This results in lower energy consumption over the service life of the belt. The ax31 is installed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors in equipment requiring AX-series belt sizing.

The ax31 suits applications where improved power transmission efficiency and the ability to use smaller sheave diameters are priorities. The cogged profile increases flexibility and grip on the sheave, making it well suited for variable-speed drives, fan systems, compressors, and other belt-driven equipment common in commercial and residential mechanical systems. Its raw edge construction also provides superior heat dissipation compared to conventional wrapped V-belts.

Key Features

• Precision-molded raw edge cogged construction reduces bending resistance and improves efficiency
• Transfers power with greater efficiency than standard wrapped V-belts
• Compatible with smaller sheave sizes, reducing system weight and cost
• Runs cooler under load, extending belt and sheave service life
• Designed for increased power transmission capability in demanding drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for equipment requiring an AX-series cogged V-belt in standard AX31 dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable mechanical codes. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing belts. Never pry a belt onto a sheave using tools that could damage the cog profile; always reduce center distance to allow proper seating. Verify sheave alignment and tension according to the drive manufacturer specifications after installation.
