Belt type XPC cogged wedge belts
22mm wide · 18mm deep · Raw-edge cogged · Multiple leading brands
XPC belts are the cogged version of SPC, the largest standard wedge belt. Notches moulded into the underside
let them bend more easily, run cooler and transmit more power on the heaviest drives, which can cut energy
use and extend belt life. You’ll find XPC belts on crushers, mills and quarry plant, large compressors
and pumps, big industrial fans and cooling towers, sawmills and heavy machinery, and they’re a straight
upgrade on a smooth SPC belt. We stock XPC belts from leading manufacturers. Search by the code on the old
belt, such as XPC4000, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or brand.

Finding the right XPC belt
Reading the codeXPC4000 means an XPC belt with a 4000mm datum length (Ld). Wedge belts are almost always sized by datum length in millimetres, which is measured at the belt’s pitch line rather than round the inside or outside.
Upgrading from SPC?An XPC belt runs in the same pulleys as a smooth SPC belt of the same length, so an XPC4000 can usually replace an SPC4000 directly. It’s a simple way to get more life and efficiency from an existing drive.
XPC or CX?An XPC belt is 22mm wide and 18mm deep. A cogged classical CX belt is the same width but much shallower, at 14mm, and runs in C section pulleys, so measure the depth to be sure.
Tip: on drives with two or more belts, replace them all at once with a matched set of the same brand, and don’t mix smooth and cogged belts on the same drive.
