Bando BX116 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 119 in

Product Description

The BANDO BX116 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for power transmission applications across HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive systems. It has an outside length of 119 inches, a belt width of 21/32 inches (0.66 inches), and a thickness of 13/32 inches (0.41 inches). Constructed from rubber with a cogged profile, this belt delivers flexible, efficient torque transfer and runs cooler than standard wrapped belts. The cogged design reduces bending resistance, which improves efficiency and extends service life. It meets ARPM standards and carries heat-resistant and oil-resistant ratings, making it suitable for demanding drive environments.

The BX116 is used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, fan and blower drives, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery where a BX-section belt is specified. It is a direct fit for drives engineered to the BX belt standard, including common blower and condenser fan assemblies. HVAC technicians and mechanical service professionals are the primary installers in field-replacement and preventive-maintenance scenarios.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical service professional. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing the drive cover or old belt. Never force a belt onto a sheave with a pry bar, as this can damage belt cords and reduce service life. After installation, verify proper belt tension and sheave alignment per the equipment manufacturer's drive specifications before returning the unit to service.
