Bando BX58 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 61 in Outside Length

Product Description

The BANDO BX58 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for industrial and HVAC drive applications requiring reliable power transmission. It measures 61 inches in outside length, 21/32 inch in width, and 13/32 inch in thickness, with an internal length of 58 inches and a belt pitch of 59.8 inches. Constructed from rubber with a cogged profile, this belt reduces heat buildup and flexing resistance compared to standard wrapped belts. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors install this belt on motor-to-blower and compressor drive systems where BX-section belts are specified. It meets ARPM standards and carries heat-resistant and oil-resistant ratings.

The BX58 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial blowers, and general power transmission drives that call for a BX-section cogged belt. Its cogged construction allows it to run on smaller-diameter sheaves with less slippage and lower operating temperature than a smooth-back belt. Any application currently using a BX58 or equivalent 58-inch internal length BX-section belt is a direct candidate for this replacement.

Key Features

• Cogged profile reduces flex heat and allows use on smaller sheave diameters
• Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction for demanding drive environments
• Meets ARPM dimensional and performance standards
• BX section with 21/32 inch width and 13/32 inch thickness for consistent sheave fit
• 61 inch outside length with 58 inch internal length for precise drive sizing
• Black rubber finish; classic cogged style compatible with standard BX-section sheaves

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for BX58-designation belts in any drive system specifying a BX-section cogged V-belt with a 58 inch internal length and 61 inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or mechanical maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing drive belts. Loosen the motor mount or belt tensioner to allow slack for installation — never pry or roll a belt onto a sheave under tension. After installation, adjust tension per the equipment manufacturer's specification and verify sheave alignment before restoring power.
