Continental Contitech 20039534 AX96 V-belt 98.2 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20039534 is an AX-section cogged V-belt rated at 98.2 inches outside length, also cataloged under belt number AX96. Built with a fiber-reinforced Vytracord construction, this Torque-Flex belt is engineered for high-flex, high-load drive applications. The cogged AX profile reduces bending resistance, which allows operation on smaller-diameter sheaves while running cooler and with greater efficiency than a standard wrapped belt. It is installed by HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals on belt-driven systems where precise power transmission and durability are required.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, industrial drive systems, and agricultural or auxiliary power applications that call for an AX-profile cogged belt. The Torque-Flex design performs well in environments subject to heat, oil mist, and variable loads. Any system specifying an AX96 belt or requiring a 98.2-inch outside length AX-section replacement is a direct application for this part.

Key Features

• AX-section cogged profile reduces flex heat and allows use on small-diameter sheaves
• Fiber-reinforced Vytracord construction provides high tensile strength and dimensional stability
• Torque-Flex design handles shock loads and variable-speed drives
• 98.2-inch outside length with 97.30-inch internal length for precise sheave fitment
• Sold individually — no minimum bundle quantity required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for applications specifying belt number AX96 with an AX-section profile and 98.2-inch outside length. Fits any drive system configured for an AX96 V-belt.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the drive system fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect sheave grooves for wear, misalignment, or debris before installing the new belt. Do not pry the belt over sheave flanges — release drive tension using the adjustment mechanism, seat the belt, then re-tension to the equipment manufacturer's specification. Replace matched sets together on multi-belt drives to ensure even load distribution.
