GATES AX 78 belongs to v-belt, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for AX 78 and any equivalents.
The Gates Tri-Power AX 78 is a cogged classical V-belt with an AX profile and a length of 2032 mm. It is built for drives that need a classical cross-section with the flexibility of a cogged construction. The same size is also listed under Optibelt AX 78 and Dayco AX 78.
When you pull an old belt from a drive, the marking on the back is the fastest way to confirm what you need. Read the profile and the part number directly from the belt. For this belt, the marking should show AX 78. The AX profile is a classical V-belt cross-section, and 78 indicates the length in inches. The metric length for this belt is 2032 mm.
If the marking is worn or unreadable, measure the outside length and compare it to 2032 mm. Check the sheave grooves for wear and make sure the replacement matches the original profile. Because the AX profile is a classical V-belt, it is not interchangeable with narrow wedge belts or other profiles. Confirm that the drive uses an AX cross-section before ordering.
To request a quote, send the part number AX 78, the brand Gates, and the quantity you need. If you are replacing multiple belts on the same drive, include the number of belts so we can help you match the set.
