The Gates Tri-Power BX180 is a cogged classical V-belt in the BX profile with a length of 4649 mm. Cogged classical belts are used on drives where a standard wrapped belt runs hot or slips, and the molded cogs improve flexibility around smaller pulleys. This page covers where this type fits and how to confirm it before you order.
Cogged classical V-belts like the BX180 are common on industrial drives such as fans, pumps, compressors and other equipment that runs continuously. The BX profile sits between the A and C sections, so it is often found on drives that need more capacity than an A section without the bulk of a C section. Because the belt is cogged, it bends more easily and runs cooler on smaller sheaves.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt. You are looking for the profile, BX, and the length, 4649 mm. If the belt is worn or the marking is gone, measure the outside length and check the sheave groove width against the BX profile. The same size is also listed under Dayco BX180, so you can compare that number if it helps you identify the belt.
When you replace a cogged classical belt, inspect the sheaves for wear and check that the drive is aligned. If the drive uses more than one belt, replace the full set at the same time so the load stays even. Send us the part number, BX180, and the quantity you need, and we will reply with a quote.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the BX180 fit?
- The BX180 is a BX profile cogged classical V-belt with a length of 4649 mm. It fits drives that use that profile and length, typically industrial equipment such as fans, pumps and compressors. Confirm by reading the marking on your old belt or measuring the drive.
- How do I confirm the length?
- The length is 4649 mm. Check the marking on the back of the old belt for the profile and length, or measure the belt and compare it to the sheave groove. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the marking and we can help confirm.
- 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 belts can cause uneven loading. Order the quantity you need by part number and we will quote the set.
