This Gates PowerGrip HTD timing belt carries the part number 1896-8M. It uses the HTD 8M profile with an 8 mm pitch and a 1896 mm length. If you are replacing a belt on a synchronous drive, this is the number to match against the belt you are removing.
The most reliable way to confirm a replacement is to read the marking on the back of the belt currently installed. The part number, profile, pitch and length printed there should agree with 1896-8M, HTD 8M, 8 mm and 1896 mm. If the old belt is worn, damaged or missing its marking, measure the length along the pitch line and compare it to 1896 mm rather than trying to measure the outside circumference.
Count the teeth only as a secondary check, and inspect the pulleys while the belt is off. Worn pulley grooves or a misaligned drive can shorten the life of a new timing belt. Send us the part number 1896-8M and, if you have it, a photo of the old belt marking. We carry Gates PowerGrip HTD and can confirm this belt or point you to the correct one for your drive.

Frequently asked questions
- What details should I send to get a quote for this belt?
- Send the part number 1896-8M. If you are not certain, include the marking from the back of the old belt or a photo of it, along with the profile and length you need. We will confirm the match.
- How can I verify that 1896-8M is the right belt?
- Compare the marking on the old belt to the part number, profile HTD 8M, pitch 8 mm and length 1896 mm. If the old belt is unmarked, measure the pitch length and check the pulley profile before ordering.
- Is this a timing belt or a V-belt?
- It is a timing belt, also called a synchronous belt. It has teeth that engage the pulley grooves, unlike a V-belt that relies on friction.
