Gates 96426048 Quad-power 4 Cogged V-belt Bx 51 in

Product Description

The GATES 96426048 is a Quad-Power 4 cogged V-belt in BX section profile, designed for high-efficiency power transmission in industrial and commercial drive applications. Part of the Gates 9642 Series, this single-band belt features a cogged construction that reduces bending resistance, runs cooler, and delivers greater flexibility compared to standard wrapped belts. With an outside length of 51 inches, it suits a wide range of sheave-driven equipment used by maintenance technicians and mechanical contractors across HVAC, agricultural, and general industrial settings.

The BX section Quad-Power 4 belt is a direct-fit replacement for cogged BX-profile V-belt drives on fan assemblies, compressors, pumps, and similar belt-driven equipment. The 9642 Series is manufactured in the United States and is suited for both new installations and service replacements on existing drives. Technicians working on commercial HVAC units, air handlers, and other belt-driven mechanical systems will recognize the BX cross-section as a standard sizing widely specified in OEM drive packages.

Key Features

• Cogged construction reduces bending losses and heat buildup for longer belt life
• BX section profile matches standard BX-series sheave and pulley drives
• 51-inch outside length suits a broad range of commercial and industrial drive configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for BX-section cogged V-belt drives on fan, pump, compressor, and general power transmission equipment requiring a 51-inch outside-length belt.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive before removing the old belt or handling sheaves. Never pry a belt onto a sheave using tools that can damage the cord structure. After installation, set tension according to the equipment manufacturer's drive design specifications and re-check tension after initial run-in.
