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).
Yes. STARNEX issues verified KRA electronic tax invoices (eTIMS) with every order, supporting formal procurement for manufacturing plants and maintenance contractors across Kenya.
