Belt type ZX cogged V-belts

10mm wide · 6mm deep · Raw-edge cogged · Multiple leading brands

ZX belts are the cogged version of Z section, with notches moulded into the underside so they bend easily round small pulleys, run cooler and grip better. They’re used on small motors and pumps, compact machine tools, workshop equipment, and garden and household machinery, and are a straight upgrade on a smooth Z belt. We stock ZX belts from several leading manufacturers. Search by the code on the old belt, such as ZX38, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or brand.

Finding the right ZX belt

Reading the codeZX38 means a ZX cogged belt with a 38 inch inside length (965mm). Metric sizes may show the inside length (Li) or the datum length (Ld), which is 22mm longer, so check which your belt uses.

Upgrading from Z?A ZX belt runs in the same pulleys as a smooth Z belt of the same length, so a ZX38 can usually replace a Z38 directly. Every belt here fits standard Z section pulleys.

ZX or XPZ?A ZX belt is 10mm wide and 6mm deep. An XPZ cogged wedge belt looks similar but is deeper, at 8mm, and runs in SPZ 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.
