Gates BX23 Gold Ribbon Cogged V-Belt
The Gates BX23 Gold Ribbon Cog Belt is a high-performance, cogged (notched) V-belt engineered for demanding HVAC and industrial drive applications. Part of Gates’ trusted Gold Ribbon line, this belt delivers superior power transmission efficiency, reduced operating temperatures, and extended service life compared to conventional classical V-belts.
Product Overview
The BX23 features a cogged (notched) underside profile that increases flexibility, reduces bending stress, and allows operation on smaller-diameter sheaves without sacrificing performance. The Gold Ribbon construction uses Gates’ proprietary cord and compound technology to resist heat, oil, and static buildup — making it an ideal replacement belt for HVAC blower drives, fan systems, and light industrial equipment.
