The ConCar AVX13 is a molded toothed automotive V-belt with an outer length of 1,060 mm and a cross-section of 13 × 10 mm. It transmits the drive power between compatible pulleys and is suitable when the technical specifications of the vehicle or equipment require this profile and length.
The open-flanked, toothed underside enhances flexibility as the belt rotates over the pulleys. The belt is made of a rubber compound with reinforced polyester/glass fiber tensile members. It is heat- and oil-resistant, as well as antistatic. Typical applications include auxiliary components such as alternators, fans, water pumps, or compressors, provided they are driven by a V-belt of this profile. Which components are actually compatible depends on the design of the specific vehicle or device.
If the vehicle or machine documentation specifies the outer length, compare it directly to La = 1,060 mm. If a different length designation is used, the values Lw and Li will help with the comparison. These three length specifications describe different measurement references for the same belt: La is the outer length, Lw the effective length, and Li the inner length.
Before purchasing a new belt, compare the markings on your existing belt with the specifications provided by the vehicle or machine manufacturer. Also, check that the pulleys are clean, aligned, and free of sharp edges. Adjust the tension according to the manufacturer's instructions: too little tension can cause slippage, while too much tension puts unnecessary strain on the bearings and belt.
AVX13 is compared to XPA in the ConCar profile assignment. For alternative brands such as Gates, Optibelt, Continental, or Megadyne, the profile, reference length, and approval for the specific drive system must match; the brand name alone does not guarantee a suitable replacement.
Which length is crucial? Compare the specification AVX13 1060 La with the labeling of your previous belt and the manufacturer's documentation. Pay attention to whether it uses La, Lw, or Li.
Until installation, the belt should be stored without tension, in a dry place, and protected from direct heat and sunlight. Do not kink or twist it. A ConCar V-belt in the profile and length specified above is supplied.
