ConCar - V-belt AVX13 1400 La 13x10 mm

Product overview

The ConCar AVX13 is a molded toothed automotive V-belt with an outer length of 1,400 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.

Dimensions

• Profile: AVX13
• Cross-section: 13 × 10 mm
• External length (La): 1,400 mm
• Effective length (Lw): 1,382 mm
• Internal length (Li): 1,337 mm

Construction and use

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.

The additional reference lengths Lw = 1,382 mm and Li = 1,337 mm simplify selection when the old belt marking uses a different length specification. 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.

Selection and assembly

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.

Comparable terms

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which length is crucial? Compare the specification AVX13 1400 La with the labeling of your previous belt and the manufacturer's documentation. Pay attention to whether it uses La, Lw, or Li.

Storage and delivery

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.
