Common questions on this part
Yes. The BX-52 has the exact same profile dimensions (17×11mm) and pitch length as a B-52 belt. It fits into the same pulley grooves while providing superior friction grip, greater flexibility, and much cooler running temperatures.
Screw compressors generate significant heat and use small pulleys to spin the air-end at high speeds. Wrapped belts build up internal heat and crack prematurely under these conditions, whereas the molded teeth of the BX-52 promote cooling airflow and eliminate bending stress.
The minimum recommended pulley pitch diameter for a BX-52 is 90 mm, compared to 112 mm for a wrapped Section B belt. This enables more compact drive designs.
Always install factory-matched PIX sets supplied by STARNEX. Never mix new and used belts, and never mix wrapped B belts with cogged BX belts on the same drive.
