This is a Gates Tri-Power cogged classical V-belt in the BX profile with a length of 6935 mm. The cogged construction is used in industrial drives where a classical V-belt cross-section is required. We supply it to maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams across the US, Canada, Mexico and South America.

Cogged classical V-belts in the BX profile are commonly found on heavy-duty industrial drives such as crushers, mixers, fans and process equipment. The cogged design is often chosen where the drive runs over relatively small pulleys and some flexibility is useful. Because the belt is 6935 mm long, it is typically part of a multi-belt set on a large drive rather than a single-belt application.

To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt and match the profile and length exactly. If the marking is worn or missing, measure the outside length and the top width of the belt and compare with the 6935 mm length and BX profile. Also check the pulley grooves for wear and confirm the number of belts in the drive before ordering.

When replacing belts on a multi-belt drive, fit the full set at the same time so the load stays evenly distributed. Inspect sheaves for worn grooves, check alignment and set tension according to the drive manufacturer's instructions. Send us the part number, the quantity needed and a photo of the belt marking if you want us to confirm the correct belt or suggest an equivalent.
