The Gates Tri-Power BX87 is a cogged classical V-belt in the BX profile with a length of 2286 mm. The cogged construction is common on drives with small pulleys or where a standard wrapped belt runs hot. This belt is used across industrial equipment, so confirming the profile and length against the old belt is the first step.
Cogged classical V-belts like the BX87 are found on HVAC blowers, pumps, compressors, conveyors, and other general industrial drives. The BX profile fits standard B-section pulleys, and the cogged underside helps the belt bend around smaller sheaves without the stiffness of a wrapped belt.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt. Look for the profile (BX) and the length (2286 mm). If the old belt is worn or the marking is gone, measure the outside length and the top width, and count the ribs or cogs only if the profile is unclear. The same size is also listed under Dayco BX87.
When you replace a cogged belt, inspect the pulleys for wear, alignment, and debris. A worn pulley groove can shorten belt life even if the part number is correct. If you are unsure between the BX87 and another profile, send a photo of the old belt marking and the pulley width for confirmation.

- Can I use the Gates BX87 on a drive that currently has a wrapped belt?
- If the drive uses a B-section pulley and the length matches, the BX87 can be used. Cogged belts are often chosen for smaller pulleys or higher-speed drives, but always confirm the pulley profile and the required length before ordering.
