Functional engineering application
The PIX-X'tra Section AX (AX-38) Raw Edge Cogged V-Belt represents advanced power transmission engineering designed for high flex fatigue resistance, enhanced heat dissipation, and superior energy efficiency. Unlike traditional wrapped belts with a fabric jacket, the PIX-X'tra belt is manufactured with cut raw rubber sidewalls and precision-molded cogs on the underside. Measuring 13 mm in top width and 8 mm in thickness, the molded cog architecture allows the belt to bend smoothly around small pulley diameters without creating high internal compressive stresses. As the belt flexes over small sheaves, the cogs open and close freely, generating an airflow that actively cools the belt core. This cool-running design extends belt operating life dramatically in enclosed engine compartments, air compressor housings, and high-ambient factory environments across Kenya. The cut raw rubber sidewalls feature microscopic transverse fibers oriented perpendicular to the belt path. This construction delivers a higher coefficient of friction against cast iron pulley grooves than smooth fabric wrap, practically eliminating slip during high-torque motor starts and transmitting up to 30% more power than standard wrapped A-section belts. The load-carrying cord line consists of high-modulus, pre-stretched polyester cords embedded in an oil- and heat-resistant polychloroprene elastomer matrix. Operating reliably across a wider temperature window (-25 °C to +100 °C) and certified antistatic to ISO 1813, the AX-38 belt features an inside length of 965 mm (38 inches) and datum pitch length of ~995 mm.
High-efficiency raw edge cogged V-belt Section AX engineered with precision molded teeth for small pulley diameters, high speeds, and cooler running in Kenya.

Common questions on this part
The cogged AX-38 belt has molded teeth on the bottom and raw cut rubber sides. This enables it to wrap around smaller pulleys (down to 63 mm vs 71 mm for wrapped A), run cooler due to air circulation in the cogs, and provide superior grip with up to 30% more power capacity.
Yes. The AX-38 has the identical 13×8mm trapezoidal cross section and pitch length as an A-38 wrapped belt. It drops directly into the same sheave grooves while delivering superior grip and longer service life.
Compressor enclosures run hot (often 70-90 °C) and use small motor pulleys to achieve high air-end speeds. The heat-resistant polychloroprene compound and cogged flexing geometry of the AX belt handle high temperatures without cracking or glazing.
The PIX-X'tra AX-38 operates from -25 °C to +100 °C, offering a 20 °C higher upper thermal threshold than standard wrapped V-belts (-18 °C to +80 °C).
