Belt type CX cogged V-belts

22mm wide · 14mm deep · Raw-edge cogged · Multiple leading brands

CX belts are the cogged version of C section, with notches moulded into the underside so they bend more easily, run cooler and grip better under heavy load. They’re used on large motors, compressors and pumps, industrial fans, crushers and quarry plant, sawmills and agricultural machinery, and are a straight upgrade on a smooth C belt. We stock CX belts from several leading manufacturers. Search by the code on the old belt, such as CX120, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or brand.

Finding the right CX belt

Reading the codeCX120 means a CX cogged belt with a 120 inch inside length (3048mm). Metric sizes may show the inside length (Li) or the datum length (Ld), which is 58mm longer, so check which your belt uses.

Upgrading from C?A CX belt runs in the same pulleys as a smooth C belt of the same length, so a CX120 can usually replace a C120 directly. Every belt here fits standard C section pulleys.

CX or XPC?A CX belt is 22mm wide and 14mm deep. An XPC cogged wedge belt is the same width but much deeper, at 18mm, and runs in SPC 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.
