Belt type AX cogged V-belts
13mm wide · 8mm deep · Raw-edge cogged · Multiple leading brands
AX belts are the cogged version of A section, the most widely used classical V-belt, with notches moulded
into the underside so they bend easily round small pulleys, run cooler and grip better. They’re used on
electric motors, pumps, compressors, fans, workshop machinery, and garden and agricultural equipment, and
are a straight upgrade on a smooth A belt. We stock AX belts from several leading manufacturers. Search by
the code on the old belt, such as AX68, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or brand.

Finding the right AX belt
Reading the codeAX68 means an AX cogged belt with a 68 inch inside length (1727mm). Metric sizes may show the inside length (Li) or the datum length (Ld), which is 30mm longer, so check which your belt uses.
Upgrading from A?An AX belt runs in the same pulleys as a smooth A belt of the same length, so an AX68 can usually replace an A68 directly. Every belt here fits standard A section pulleys.
AX or XPA?An AX belt is 13mm wide and 8mm deep. An XPA cogged wedge belt looks similar but is deeper, at 10mm, and runs in SPA 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.
