Bando BX88 Cogged V-belt Bx Section 91 in Outside Length

Product Description

The BANDO BX88 is a classic cogged V-belt in the BX section, designed for power transmission applications in HVAC, agricultural, industrial, and light commercial equipment. It measures 91 inches in outside length, 0.66 inches in width, and 0.41 inches in thickness, with a belt pitch of 89.8 inches. The cogged construction reduces bending resistance and heat buildup, improving efficiency and extending belt life compared to standard wrapped V-belts. Made from rubber, the BX88 meets ARPM standards and carries heat-resistant and oil-resistant ratings. HVAC technicians, equipment service professionals, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers.

The BX88 is suited for use on blowers, fans, compressors, pumps, and other belt-driven equipment where a BX-section cogged belt is specified. It fits applications found in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, shop equipment, and general-purpose machinery. Verify pulley groove profile matches the BX section before installation. This belt is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with belt-drive systems. Disconnect and lock out power to the equipment before removing or installing the belt. Never pry a belt over a sheave with a tool that could damage the belt cords — always release drive tension through the adjustment mechanism. After installation, verify belt tension and alignment according to the equipment manufacturer's service specifications before returning the unit to operation.
