Gates 96416036 AX36QP Cogged V-belt 38 Inches

Product Description

The GATES 96416036 is an AX-type cogged V-belt from the 9641 Series Quad-Power 4 line, designed for high-performance power transmission in demanding drive applications. The cogged profile reduces heat buildup and flex fatigue, allowing the belt to run cooler and last longer than standard wrapped belts. With an outside length of 38 inches and a single-band construction, this belt is suited for use on standard AX-profile sheaves in a wide range of industrial and HVAC equipment. HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors install this type of belt as part of routine drive maintenance or equipment repair.

This belt is used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, fans, blowers, compressors, and general industrial machinery where AX-section V-belts are specified. The cogged design improves flexibility on smaller sheave diameters, making it a practical choice for equipment with tight drive geometry. The 9641 Series is engineered for consistent performance under variable loads and is manufactured in the United States.

Key Features

• Cogged AX-type profile reduces flex stress and heat on smaller sheave diameters

• Manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for equipment requiring an AX-section cogged V-belt with a 38-inch outside length. Fits any drive system specifying an AX36 belt profile.

Installation Notes

V-belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, or mechanical contractors. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the belt guard or accessing drive components. Do not pry or force the belt over sheave flanges; always loosen the drive motor mount to relieve tension before installation. After fitting the new belt, adjust tension and sheave alignment according to the equipment manufacturer's specifications before returning the unit to service.
