This Gates PowerGrip HTD belt is a timing belt with an HTD 8M profile and a 1520 mm length. It is used in synchronous drives where the belt teeth mesh with pulley grooves to keep the driven shaft in step with the driver. The 8 mm pitch matches the pulley groove spacing, so confirming both the profile and the length is the first step in checking fit.

On a timing drive, the belt controls valve or machine timing rather than relying on friction. The HTD 8M profile is a curvilinear tooth form used on industrial synchronous drives, and the 1520 mm length locates the belt on the pulleys. Check the marking on the back of the old belt against the profile and length before ordering.

Count the pulley grooves and measure the belt width to confirm the drive matches the HTD 8M profile. Inspect the pulleys for worn teeth, and replace the belt if you find cracked teeth, exposed cords or missing tooth faces. The same size is also listed under Optibelt 1520 8M.
