Bando BX80 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 83 in Outside Length

Product Description

The BANDO BX80 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for power transmission in industrial and commercial drive applications. It measures 83.0 inches in outside length with a belt pitch of 81.8 inches and an internal length of 80.0 inches. The belt is 21/32 inches wide and 13/32 inches thick. Constructed from rubber with a cogged profile, it delivers flexibility and heat dissipation across a wide range of operating conditions. The cogged design reduces bending resistance, which lowers operating temperatures and increases drive efficiency compared to a standard wrapped belt. This belt meets ARPM standards and carries heat-resistant and oil-resistant ratings.

The BX80 is suited for HVAC blower drives, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and commercial ventilation fans where a BX-section cogged belt is specified. It is a direct replacement for any application calling for a BX80 belt. Technicians and mechanical service professionals install this belt on sheave-and-pulley drive systems that require the BX cross-section geometry. The cogged construction makes it compatible with smaller-diameter sheaves where a conventional belt would generate excessive heat or experience accelerated wear.

Key Features

• BX section cogged profile reduces bending resistance and lowers drive operating temperature
• Outside length of 83.0 inches with an internal length of 80.0 inches for precise drive sizing
• 21/32 inch belt width and 13/32 inch thickness match standard BX-section sheave grooves
• Heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber construction for demanding service environments
• Meets ARPM industry standards for V-belt dimensions and performance
• Classic cogged style works with standard variable-speed and fixed-speed sheave systems

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for any drive system specifying a BX80 cogged V-belt in the BX section. Verify sheave groove profile and center distance against drive design specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or HVAC technician following the equipment manufacturer's drive design specifications. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing belts. Never pry a belt onto a sheave using a sharp tool, as this can damage the belt cords and reduce service life. After installation, verify belt tension and sheave alignment per ARPM or equipment manufacturer guidelines before returning the system to service.
