This ConCar AVX13 V-belt is designed for a drive system with a length of 1,568 mm and a cross-section of 13 × 10 mm. The belt connects driving and driven pulleys and is suitable – depending on the specific system – for driving vehicle auxiliary components.
The open-flanked, toothed 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. The profile is designed for compact belt drives where the corresponding AVX cross-section is specified. Depending on the design, the belt can be used to drive fans, pumps, or other auxiliary components.
The additional reference lengths Lw = 1,550 mm and Li = 1,505 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.
Before installation, compare the complete belt designation with the technical documentation. Damaged or heavily worn pulleys can impair the new belt. After installation, the specified tension must be set and checked according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
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 1.568 La with the labeling of the previous belt and the manufacturer's documentation. Pay attention to whether it uses La, Lw, or Li.
Store the belt in its natural shape in a dry, dark place. Avoid pressure points, sharp bends, and contact with aggressive chemicals. A ConCar V-belt is supplied in the profile and length specified above.
