Continental Contitech 20039636 BX162 Cogged V-belt 165 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20039636 is a BX-section cogged V-belt engineered for power transmission in industrial and HVAC drive applications. Built with Fiber-Reinforced Vytracord construction, this belt delivers high tensile strength and dimensional stability under load. The cogged profile reduces bending resistance, which improves efficiency and extends belt life on smaller-diameter sheaves. It carries a 165-inch outside length and an internal length of 163.80 inches, making it a direct match for BX162 drive applications. Weighing 1.9 pounds, it is a heavy-duty replacement suited for demanding belt-drive systems maintained by HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors.

This belt is designed for use in belt-drive systems across residential and commercial HVAC equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial fans, compressors, and general power transmission equipment. The BX section is a standard cogged raw-edge profile commonly found in blower and fan drive assemblies where improved flexing and heat dissipation are required. Its oil-resistant construction makes it suitable for environments where incidental fluid contact is possible. The Torque-Flex style designation indicates this belt is optimized for high-torque, variable-load drive systems.

Key Features

• BX-section cogged profile reduces bending resistance for improved drive efficiency on small sheaves
• Fiber-Reinforced Vytracord construction provides high tensile strength and stable dimensions under load
• Oil-resistant compound extends service life in environments with incidental fluid exposure
• Torque-Flex style rated for high-torque and variable-load drive applications
• Rated for operating temperatures from -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F (equivalent to -40 degrees C to 60 degrees C)
• 165-inch outside length with 163.80-inch internal length matches BX162 belt designation

Compatibility

This belt matches the BX162 belt designation and is designed as an OEM-style replacement for any drive system specifying a BX-section cogged V-belt with a 165-inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, or mechanical service professionals. Always de-energize and lockout/tagout the equipment before removing the drive guard or handling belt components. Adjust sheave center distance to allow belt installation without forcing the belt over the sheave flanges, then re-tension to the drive system manufacturer's specification. Inspect sheave grooves for wear or misalignment before installing a new belt.
