Continental Contitech 20042603 Cogged V-belt 5VX 108 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042603 is a cogged V-belt in the 5VX section profile, designed for high-torque power transmission in industrial and commercial HVAC drive systems. Built from fiber reinforced Wingprene rubber, this belt delivers dependable flex strength and oil resistance across demanding duty cycles. The cogged construction reduces bending resistance and heat buildup, making it well suited for variable-speed and high-load applications. It carries a 108-inch outside length and is cataloged as belt number 5VX1080. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical service professionals typically specify and install this belt.

This belt is used in blower drive assemblies, cooling tower fan drives, air handler units, and industrial equipment requiring a 5VX wedge-section V-belt. The 5VX cogged profile is common in matched-set configurations on large commercial and industrial HVAC equipment where precise drive alignment and consistent belt stretch characteristics are critical. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged designation indicates compatibility with matched-set drive systems requiring consistent length tolerance across multiple belts on a single sheave bank.

Key Features

• 5VX cogged section profile reduces bending resistance and operating heat
• Fiber reinforced Wingprene rubber construction provides oil resistance and flex durability
• 108-inch outside length suits large-frame blower and fan drive assemblies
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged designation supports matched-set drive configurations
• Oil resistant compound extends service life in environments with incidental oil exposure

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for 5VX section cogged V-belt applications requiring a 108-inch outside length. Compatible with standard 5VX sheaves and drives specifying belt number 5VX1080.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the equipment manufacturer drive alignment specifications. De-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing belts. Never pry or roll a V-belt onto a sheave under tension, as this can damage the cords and reduce belt life. After installation, verify belt tension and sheave alignment per industry standard practices before returning the system to service.
