Gates 96416039 Cogged V-belt Ax 41 in Single Band

Product Description

The GATES 96416039 is a Quad-Power 4 cogged V-belt in the AX section profile, manufactured in the United States as part of the Gates 9641 Series. Cogged construction reduces bending resistance, which improves flexibility and heat dissipation compared to a standard wrapped belt of the same cross-section. With an outside length of 41 inches and a single-band configuration, this belt is suited for demanding drive applications where efficiency and long service life are priorities. It is installed by HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and equipment service professionals working on belt-driven systems.

The 9641 Series Quad-Power 4 belt is used across a range of belt-driven equipment including fan drives, blower assemblies, compressors, and general industrial machinery that calls for an AX-profile cogged belt. The AX cross-section is a narrow, high-capacity profile that transmits more power per inch of belt width than classical A-section belts, making it a common upgrade or direct replacement in both residential and light commercial equipment drives.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician. Always de-energize and lock out the drive unit before removing the belt guard or existing belt. Never pry a belt onto a sheave; adjust center distance to allow proper installation. After installation, check tension and alignment according to equipment manufacturer specifications before returning the unit to service.
