Bando BX44 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 47 in Outside Length

Product Description

The BANDO BX44 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for power transmission applications across a wide range of mechanical and HVAC equipment. It measures 47 inches in outside length with a belt pitch of 45.8 inches and an internal length of 44 inches. The belt is 21/32 inch wide and 13/32 inch thick, constructed from rubber with a cogged profile that increases flexibility and reduces heat buildup during operation. The cogged design also improves grip on smaller-diameter sheaves and contributes to greater efficiency compared to a standard wrapped belt. ARPM standards compliance confirms dimensional accuracy and interchangeability.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration units, air compressors, agricultural equipment, and general-purpose machinery where BX-section drives are specified. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians and mechanical maintenance professionals on blower assemblies, fan drives, and pump drives that use a matching BX-section sheave. The cogged construction makes it a preferred choice when operating conditions involve elevated temperatures or oil exposure.

Key Features

• Cogged profile reduces bending resistance and heat generation on smaller sheaves
• Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction for demanding service environments
• ARPM-compliant dimensions ensure accurate replacement fitment
• Outside length of 47 inches with a belt pitch of 45.8 inches and internal length of 44 inches
• Belt width of 21/32 inch and thickness of 13/32 inch for standard BX-section drives
• Classic black rubber construction suitable for a broad range of drive configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard BX-section cogged V-belt replacement for drives requiring a BX44-designation belt per ARPM sizing conventions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical service professional. Always disconnect and lock out power to the drive system before removing or installing belts. Never pry a belt onto a sheave; loosen the motor mounting or tensioner to allow proper installation without overstressing the belt or bearings. After installation, verify belt tension according to the equipment manufacturer's deflection specification before returning the unit to service.
