Jason Industrial BX68 Cogged Classical V-belt 71 in

Product Description

The JASON INDUSTRIAL BX68 is a cogged classical V-belt designed for industrial and HVAC power transmission applications. The cogged profile reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to run cooler and more efficiently on smaller-diameter sheaves. This belt measures 71 inches in outside length, 21/32 inch in top width, and 13/32 inch in thickness. It conforms to RMA engineering standards, making it a reliable replacement for OEM and aftermarket belt applications. HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors install this type of belt on blower assemblies, fan drives, compressors, and general industrial machinery.

The BX68 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, agricultural equipment, and general-purpose industrial drives that require a BX-series classical V-belt. It is commonly used on air handling units, belt-driven blowers, and similar rotating equipment where a cogged profile is specified. This belt is comparable to equivalent BX68 offerings from Gates, Browning, Goodyear, Dayco, Bando, PIX, Bestorq, and Grainger, making it a straightforward cross-reference replacement in the field.

Compatibility

Comparable to BX68 belts from Gates, Browning, Goodyear, Dayco, Bando, PIX, Bestorq, and Grainger. Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any drive system specifying a BX68 classical cogged V-belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor with the drive system fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Never force a belt onto a sheave using a pry bar, as this can damage the belt cords. Adjust sheave spacing to allow proper belt tensioning after installation, and verify alignment with a straightedge before returning the system to service.
