The Gates AX series V-belt is a power transmission component that links pulleys and transmits motion between shafts. Its classic profile suits industrial and agricultural drives that demand reliable operation. We quote it based on the size you specify.

The code combines a letter for the profile and a number for the outside length in inches. For instance, AX21 is an AX profile belt with a 21-inch outside length. The same pattern applies to AX22, AX23, AX25, AX26, AX28, AX30 and AX31. That numeric suffix lets you match the exact size to each drive.

These belts appear in industrial machines, agricultural equipment, compressors, pumps and ventilation systems, among other uses. They are common in workshops, manufacturing plants and rural operations where power must move between pulleys with a classic V-profile. Their construction helps absorb vibration and slight misalignment.

When selecting a belt, consider the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the pulley diameter and the center distance. Check pulley alignment and correct tension to prevent premature wear. Lubrication does not apply here, but keep the contact surface clean and replace the belt if cracks or wear appear.

V-belts are identified by profile and length, and can be interchanged between brands when those dimensions match. For an equivalent, compare the profile (AX in this case) and the outside length. If you have another brand's code or an unidentified belt, send us the details and we will tell you the compatible alternative.
