Bando ax35 Cog V-belt Raw Edge Drive Belt

Product Description

The BANDO ax35 is a Power King raw edge cogged V-belt designed for high-efficiency power transmission in belt-driven mechanical systems. The precision-molded cogged construction reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to flex over smaller sheave diameters without sacrificing grip or durability. This design transfers drive power more efficiently than standard wrapped V-belts, reducing energy consumption over the service life of the belt. Licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals regularly spec this belt type for blower, compressor, and fan drive applications.

The ax35 fits AX-series cross-section drive configurations commonly found in residential and light commercial HVAC blower assemblies, condenser fan drives, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery. The raw edge sidewall makes full contact with sheave grooves, improving traction and reducing slippage under load. Its cogged profile also allows pairing with smaller-diameter sheaves where space is limited, giving installers flexibility in drive system design.

Key Features

• Raw edge cogged construction improves power transfer efficiency over standard wrapped belts
• Precision-molded cogs reduce bending resistance for compatibility with smaller sheave sizes
• Increased power transmission capacity compared to conventional V-belt profiles
• AX-series cross-section suits a wide range of blower and fan drive applications
• Engineered to reduce energy consumption over extended service cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for AX-series V-belt drive systems in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, as well as general industrial and agricultural belt-driven machinery.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the drive system fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect sheave grooves for wear, misalignment, or debris before installing the new belt. Never force a belt onto a sheave using a pry bar, as this can damage the cord structure and shorten service life. After installation, verify proper belt tension and sheave alignment before restoring power.
