Why Cog Belts Matter
The cog motor belt is a critical component in your Bernina's drive system. Unlike smooth V-belts, cog belts have teeth that mesh with toothed pulleys, providing secure engagement and preventing slipping. This ensures reliable power transfer for needle movement, feed dog operation, and all internal components. A worn or damaged cog belt can cause loss of power or complete machine failure.
Cog Belt vs. V-Belt
Bernina has used different belt types over the years:
- Cog Belts: Toothed design for secure engagement (Activa, Virtuosa, Artista series)
- V-Belts: Smooth design for friction drive (older vintage models like 940, 950)
Always verify which belt type your model requires before ordering.
Installation Tips
- Check belt tension after installation - should be snug but not overly tight
- Inspect pulleys for wear or damage when replacing belt
- Ensure teeth properly mesh with pulley grooves
- Keep a spare belt on hand for future maintenance
Note
This is a quality replacement cog motor belt designed to meet original specifications. This is the lower motor belt - verify your model is listed before ordering. Some mechanical knowledge is helpful for belt replacement.
