Continental Contitech 20039494 Cogged Ax V-belt 57.2 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20039494 is a cogged V-belt in the AX section, also identified by belt number AX55. Built with Fiber-Reinforced Vytracord construction, this belt delivers high flexibility and tensile strength for demanding drive applications. The cogged profile reduces bending resistance and heat buildup, improving efficiency over standard wrapped belts. At 57.2 inches outside length and 56.30 inches internal length, it fits a wide range of HVAC blower drives, compressor drives, and industrial equipment. The oil-resistant compound extends service life in environments where fluid contamination is a concern. Licensed HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

The AX55 belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, agricultural machinery, and general industrial drive applications where a cogged AX-section belt is specified. The Torque-Flex style designation indicates enhanced flex performance for smaller-diameter sheave applications. This belt is designed for use in systems that generate heat or experience temperature swings, rated for operation from -40 degrees F to approximately 140 degrees F. Its oil-resistant properties make it appropriate for engine-adjacent or compressor-adjacent drive configurations.

Key Features

• Fiber-Reinforced Vytracord construction provides high tensile strength and dimensional stability
• Oil-resistant compound resists degradation in fluid-contaminated environments
• Torque-Flex style supports use on smaller-diameter sheaves
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to approximately 140 degrees F
• AX section with 57.2 inches outside length fits standard AX55 drive configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for AX55 belt applications using AX-section cogged V-belts. Fits drive systems specifying an AX-section belt with 57.2 inches outside length and 56.30 inches internal length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or industrial maintenance technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing drive belts. Adjust sheave center distance to allow belt installation without forcing; never use a screwdriver or pry tool to seat the belt on the sheave. After installation, verify proper belt tension and sheave alignment per equipment manufacturer specifications before returning the unit to service.
