Bando BX27 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 30 in Outside Length

Product Description

The BANDO BX27 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for power transmission applications across HVAC, industrial, and agricultural equipment. It measures 30 inches in outside length and 21/32 inch in width, with a thickness of 13/32 inch. The cogged construction reduces bending resistance and heat buildup, making it well suited for high-speed or variable-speed drives. Built from rubber with heat-resistant and oil-resistant properties, the BX27 delivers consistent performance in demanding service environments. Installation and replacement are handled by HVAC technicians, maintenance mechanics, and equipment service professionals.

The BX27 is used in a wide range of belt-driven systems including HVAC blower assemblies, fan drives, compressors, and light industrial machinery. Its BX section profile fits standard BX-groove sheaves and pulleys. The cogged design allows it to run cooler and more efficiently than a smooth-bottom belt of the same section, which is an advantage in applications where the drive runs continuously or in elevated ambient temperatures. This belt ships as a single unit.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for standard BX27 section V-belts in residential and light commercial HVAC blower drives, fan assemblies, and belt-driven industrial equipment using BX-groove sheaves.

Installation Notes

BX section V-belts are installed by HVAC technicians and mechanical service personnel. Before replacement, de-energize the unit and lock out the power source following LOTO procedures. Loosen the drive motor or tensioner to allow belt installation without prying, which can damage the belt cords. After seating the belt, adjust tension per the equipment manufacturer's deflection specification and check alignment across sheave faces before returning the system to service.
