BESTORQ X3 A38 or 4L400 Belt 13"x13"x1/2"

BESTORQ A38 classical V-belt, A section, also designated 4L400. The belt is marked BESTORQ X3, OIL & HEAT RESISTANT, STATIC CONDUCTING.

In the RMA classical system an A-section belt carries a 1/2 in (0.50 in) top width and 11/32 in nominal thickness, and the number states the INSIDE circumference in inches: A38 measures 38 in inside, 40 in outside. The fractional-horsepower 4L designation states OUTSIDE circumference in tenths of an inch, so 4L400 is 40.0 in outside. Both numbers describe this same belt at the same length, which is why both are printed on it: A section is rated for industrial duty, 4L for lighter fractional-horsepower drives, and either runs in the same sheave groove.

Classical V-belts drive the everyday rotating equipment of industry: HVAC blowers and exhaust fans, pump drives, air compressors, and shop machinery. Belts are wear consumables, so cribs stock exact lengths and a cracked or glazed belt becomes a five-minute swap rather than a down machine.
