This is a Gates Tri-Power cogged classical V-belt in the BX profile with a length of 737 mm. It is used where a compact, narrow cross-section is needed and the drive relies on a cogged classical belt rather than a wrapped one. Confirm your fit by matching the profile and length on the old belt before ordering.
Cogged classical V-belts like the BX 26 are found on industrial drives where space is limited and the pulley grooves are cut for a BX cross-section. The cogged construction is typical of drives that run over small pulleys, and it is common on auxiliary and secondary drives rather than the main high-power lines. The profile and the 737 mm length are the two figures that decide whether this belt sits correctly in the groove and runs at the right center distance.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt. You are looking for the BX profile and the length, and the code BX 26 should match what is printed there. Check the pulley grooves at the same time: a worn or polished groove can make a new belt sit too deep, which shows up as slip or heat. If the drive uses more than one belt, replace the set together so the load stays shared.
If the marking is worn off or the belt is missing, measure the outside length and the top width, and count the ribs or cogs only if the old belt still shows them. Send the part number, the profile, the length and the pulley diameters to MR by WhatsApp or email, and the team can confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent. The same size is also listed under Optibelt BX 26.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm that the Gates Tri-Power BX 26 is the right belt for my drive?
- Check the marking on the back of the old belt for the BX profile and the length. This belt is BX profile with a length of 737 mm. If the old belt shows BX 26, it matches. Also inspect the pulley grooves for wear before installing.
- Can I replace just one belt on a multi-belt drive?
- On a drive that uses more than one belt, replace the full set at the same time. Mixing a new belt with worn ones changes how the load is shared and can cause the new belt to carry more than its share.
- What information should I send to request a quote for this belt?
- Send the part number BX 26, the profile BX, the length 737 mm, and the pulley diameters if you have them. Photos of the old belt marking and the drive help the team confirm the fit or suggest an equivalent.
