The 2/BX97 Banded V-Belt is a heavy-duty 2-rib BX-series cogged PowerBand designed for demanding industrial and agricultural equipment. The banded construction keeps both ribs aligned to reduce belt whip, twisting, and uneven wear—helping your drive maintain consistent tension under shock loads and high vibration.

Use this belt when you need stronger grip, reduced slippage, and longer service life compared to running two single BX belts. Ideal for long center-distance drives, frequent starts/stops, and applications where standard belts stretch or roll over in the pulleys.

✅ Fast fulfillment: Orders placed before 3pm CST ship same-day.

FAQs

Q1: Can I replace two single BX belts with one 2/BX banded belt?
Yes — banded belts are commonly used to keep ribs aligned and reduce twisting/slippage compared to running separate belts.

Q2: What does “2/BX97” mean?
“2/” means 2 ribs (banded), “BX” is the belt profile, and “97” refers to the belt length designation.

Q3: What causes belts to slip even when they’re tight?
Common causes include pulley wear, misalignment, contamination (oil/dust), and incorrect belt profile/length.

Q4: What’s the difference between BX and B belts?
BX belts are typically cogged/notched, allowing cooler operation and improved flexibility vs classic B-section belts.

Q5: How do I confirm belt length?
Use the inside/outside lengths shown in the Specifications section.

Q6: Do you ship fast?
Orders placed before 3pm CST ship same-day.
