Dimensions

• Profile: AVX13

• External length (La): 1,485 mm
• Effective length (Lw): 1,467 mm
• Internal length (Li): 1,422 mm

Construction and use

The open-flanked, molded-tooth underside enhances flexibility as it 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. In the automotive sector, AVX belts are suitable for driving generators and other auxiliary equipment, among other applications. The precise application cannot be determined solely by the belt length; it must match the specifications of the engine or machine.

The additional reference lengths Lw = 1,467 mm and Li = 1,422 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.
