Bando ax71 Cogged V-belt Power King Series

Product Description

The BANDO ax71 is a cogged V-belt in the Power King Cogged series, designed for industrial and commercial drive applications requiring flexibility, load stability, and heat resistance. The cogged profile reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to run cooler and flex smoothly around smaller-diameter sheaves. A bias-cut cover stock provides lateral stability across the belt width while permitting axial flexibility under load. Banprene cushion stock maintains cord integrity and ensures uniform load transmission across the full belt length. This belt meets ARPM standards for oil resistance, heat resistance, and static conductivity.

The ax71 is suited for general-purpose power transmission drives found in HVAC equipment, agricultural machinery, compressors, and light industrial systems. The fiber-loaded cogged construction makes it a practical choice for applications with tight sheave configurations or variable load demands. Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians during routine belt drive maintenance or equipment commissioning.

Key Features

• Cogged construction minimizes heat buildup and improves flexibility around small-diameter sheaves
• Bias-cut cover stock delivers lateral stability while allowing axial flex
• Banprene cushion stock maintains cord integrity for uniform load distribution
• Meets ARPM standards for oil resistance, heat resistance, and static conductivity
• Fiber-loaded construction supports consistent performance under variable load conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cogged V-belt for industrial and HVAC belt drive systems using AX-series cross-section sheaves.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the drive system fully de-energized and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Never pry or force the belt over sheave flanges; release tensioner or adjust center distance to seat the belt properly. Inspect sheave grooves for wear or misalignment before installing the new belt, and verify tension per the drive manufacturer's specification after installation.
