Continental Contitech 20042633 5VX Cogged V-belt 170 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042633 is a cogged V-belt built for demanding power-transmission applications in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive systems. Manufactured in the 5VX section profile, this belt measures 170 inches in outside length and carries the belt number designation 5VX1700. It is constructed from fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber with a cogged underside, which increases flexibility, reduces heat buildup, and improves efficiency over standard wrapped belts. The oil-resistant compound helps the belt hold up in environments where fluid exposure is a risk. Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians and millwrights during blower drive or fan drive service.

This belt is suited for use on variable-pitch and fixed-pitch sheave drives in commercial and industrial HVAC equipment, cooling towers, air handlers, and general mechanical power-transmission applications. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged style is designed to run in standard 5VX-profile grooves. Its cogged construction allows it to bend around smaller sheave diameters without cracking or fatigue, making it a practical choice for space-constrained drive arrangements commonly found in rooftop units and large air-handling systems.

Key Features

• 5VX section cogged profile reduces bending stress and heat for longer service life
• Fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber construction provides strength and durability
• Oil-resistant compound resists degradation in environments with incidental fluid exposure
• 170-inch outside length suits large-sheave blower and fan drive configurations
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged style designed for matched-set or single-belt drive use

Compatibility

Designed for use in 5VX-profile sheave grooves on commercial and industrial power-transmission drives. Compatible with standard HY-T Wedge Matchmaker drive systems requiring a 5VX1700 belt.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or millwright with the drive system fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not pry the belt over sheave flanges; always release tension through the drive adjustment mechanism before removal. Inspect sheave grooves for wear and alignment before installing a new belt. Never mix a new belt with worn belts on a multi-belt drive without replacing the full set.
