Continental Contitech 20039609 BX96 Cogged V-belt Bx Section

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20039609 is a BX-section cogged V-belt designed for demanding power transmission applications in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive systems. Manufactured with Fiber-Reinforced Vytracord construction, this belt delivers high tensile strength and flexibility under load. The cogged profile reduces bending resistance and heat buildup, improving efficiency on smaller-diameter sheaves. It carries a 99.0-inch outside length and an internal length of 97.80 inches. The oil-resistant compound resists degradation from incidental contact with lubricants, extending service life in mechanical rooms and rooftop equipment installations. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, blower drives, compressor drives, and general industrial power transmission where a BX-section cogged belt is specified. The Torque-Flex style designation indicates compatibility with variable-speed and high-torque drive applications. It performs across a wide temperature range, from -40 degrees F equivalent lows to approximately 140 degrees F equivalent highs, making it appropriate for both outdoor rooftop units and refrigerated equipment rooms. The BX96 belt number is the standard industry designation for this section and length combination.

Key Features

• Fiber-Reinforced Vytracord construction provides high tensile strength and dimensional stability
• Oil-resistant compound resists degradation from incidental lubricant exposure
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 degrees C minimum to 60 degrees C maximum
• Torque-Flex style supports high-torque and variable-speed drive configurations
• Industry-standard BX96 designation for straightforward cross-reference and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard BX-section cogged V-belt replacement for HVAC blower drives, compressor drives, and general industrial power transmission equipment specifying a BX96 belt.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or mechanical contractors. De-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the belt guard or accessing the drive sheaves. Never pry a belt onto a sheave with a screwdriver or sharp tool, as this can damage the belt cords. After installation, verify sheave alignment and belt tension per the equipment manufacturer's specifications before returning the unit to service.
