Bando BX49 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 52 in

Product Description

The BANDO BX49 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for power transmission in belt-driven mechanical systems. It measures 52.00 inches in outside length, 0.66 inches in width, and 0.41 inches in thickness, with a belt pitch of 50.80 inches and an internal length of 49.00 inches. The cogged design reduces flex resistance and heat buildup compared to a standard wrapped belt, allowing it to run cooler and grip smaller-diameter sheaves more effectively. The belt is constructed from rubber and rated for both heat and oil resistance. HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and equipment service professionals are the primary installers of this belt type.

This belt is suited for use in HVAC equipment, refrigeration units, air handlers, fans, compressors, pumps, and general industrial machinery that use BX-section sheaves and pulleys. The BX section is a standard cogged profile widely used in residential and light commercial equipment wherever reduced bending stress and improved grip are required. The internal length designation of 49.00 inches gives this belt its BX49 number under standard ARPM nomenclature.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for BX49-designation belts in equipment using standard BX-section sheaves and pulleys per ARPM specifications.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing a V-belt. Loosen the driven component to relieve tension before removal — never force a belt over a sheave under load. Set belt tension according to the equipment manufacturer specifications using a belt tension gauge; improper tension causes premature wear or slippage. Inspect sheaves for wear, misalignment, and debris before installing a new belt.
