This Gates Tri-Power belt is a cogged classical V-belt with a BX profile and a length of 6554 mm. Cogged classical V-belts are commonly used on industrial drives where a standard wrapped belt may not handle the pulley diameters or bending requirements. Confirm fit by matching the profile and length to your existing belt.
The BX profile and 6554 mm length are the key dimensions to verify. Check the marking on the back of the old belt for the profile and length, and measure the outside length if the marking is worn. The cogged construction is designed for drives with smaller pulleys, where a raw-edge belt can run cooler and grip better than a wrapped belt.
When replacing, inspect the pulleys for wear, alignment and debris. A worn pulley groove can shorten belt life even if the new belt is correct. If you are unsure whether this BX 255 is the right replacement, send the belt marking, pulley diameters and center distance for confirmation.
