Description
Gates AX74 Type AX Gripnotch Cogged V-Belt
The Gates AX74 is a Type AX Gripnotch cogged V-belt engineered for high-performance power transmission in HVAC blower and fan drive applications. With a 76.2″ outside diameter (circumference), this belt delivers reliable torque transfer across a wide range of commercial and industrial equipment.
Gripnotch Cogged Design
The distinctive notched (cogged) construction of the AX74 reduces bending stress and heat buildup, allowing the belt to flex more easily around smaller sheaves and pulleys. This design extends belt life, improves efficiency, and reduces energy consumption compared to standard classical V-belts.
