Bando bx130 Cogged V-belt Power King Series

Product Description

The BANDO bx130 is a cogged V-belt engineered for demanding power transmission applications in HVAC, agricultural, and industrial equipment. Cogged belts feature notched construction along the inner surface, which reduces bending stress and heat buildup compared to standard wrapped V-belts. This design improves flexibility around smaller sheaves and increases overall power transmission efficiency. The bx130 belongs to BANDO's Power King Cogged series, a line built for high-load, continuous-duty drive systems. Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, equipment mechanics, or qualified service professionals maintaining belt-driven blower and fan assemblies.

The bx130 is suited for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, compressor drives, fan and blower assemblies, and other belt-driven equipment that uses a standard BX-profile sheave. The BX cross-section designation indicates a cogged version of the standard B-series belt width, making it a direct cogged replacement in drives originally designed for B-section or BX-section belts. Always verify sheave groove profile and center-to-center distance before installation.

Key Features

• Cogged inner surface reduces bending resistance and heat generation during operation
• Power King Cogged series construction for high-load, continuous-duty drive applications
• BX-profile cross-section for compatibility with standard BX and B-series sheave grooves
• Improved efficiency over standard wrapped V-belts on the same drive configuration
• Suitable for HVAC blower drives, fan assemblies, compressors, and industrial equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for belt-driven systems requiring a BX-section cogged V-belt. Confirm sheave groove type and drive center distance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing any drive belt. Never force a belt onto a sheave using a pry bar, as this can damage belt cords and shorten service life. Adjust drive center distance to achieve proper belt tension per the equipment manufacturer's specifications, then re-check tension after the first few hours of operation.
