Description
GATES BX 97 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 BX 97 and any equivalents.
This is the Gates Tri-Power BX 97, a cogged classical V-belt with a BX profile and a 2540 mm length. If you are replacing a belt on an existing drive, matching the marking on the old belt to this part number is the first step.
Check the back of the belt being replaced. You are looking for the profile and the part number: BX and 97. The profile tells you the belt cross-section, and the number identifies the length. This belt is BX profile and 2540 mm. If the old belt is worn or the marking is gone, measure the outside length and compare it to 2540 mm.
The same size is also listed under Optibelt BX 97 and Dayco BX 97. If your drive currently runs one of those, this Gates Tri-Power belt is the same size. For a quote, send the part number BX 97, the profile BX and the length 2540 mm by WhatsApp or email. The team can confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
Inspect the drive before ordering. Check sheave grooves for wear, verify alignment, and confirm the belt tension is set to the drive manufacturer's specification. On multi-belt drives, replace all belts in the set at the same time so the load is shared evenly.
