Description
Gates AX100 Type AX Gripnotch V-Belt
The Gates AX100 is a Type AX Gripnotch cogged V-belt engineered for demanding HVAC and industrial power transmission applications. With a 102.2″ outside diameter (circumference), this belt delivers reliable, efficient power transfer across blower drives, fan assemblies, and other belt-driven HVAC equipment.
Gripnotch Cogged Design
The distinctive notched (cogged) construction of the AX series reduces bending stress and heat buildup during operation, extending belt life compared to standard classical V-belts. The notches also improve flexibility, allowing the belt to run cooler on smaller-diameter sheaves — a common requirement in HVAC blower and air handler applications.
