The Optibelt 1160 8M is an Omega High Power timing belt in the HTD 8M profile, with a length of 1160 mm and an 8 mm pitch. It is a synchronous belt for drives where tooth engagement, not friction, carries the load. Before you fit a replacement, the drive itself is worth a look.
A new belt on a worn drive will not run as intended. With the belt off, inspect the sheave teeth for wear, rounded flanks, corrosion or packed debris in the grooves. Check both sheaves for alignment and runout, confirm the bearings turn freely and without play, and look for oil or heat damage around the drive. Correct any of these before the belt goes back on.
When you order, send the part number 1160 8M along with the belt marking if it is still readable. If the old belt is damaged or the number is gone, the profile and length are what identify it: HTD 8M, 1160 mm, 8 mm pitch. Our team can confirm the right belt from that information and reply by WhatsApp or email.
Tension the belt to the drive manufacturer's specification rather than by feel, and recheck it after the first period of running. Keep the drive clean and free of oil, and inspect the sheaves again at each belt change so a worn pulley does not shorten the life of the next belt.

Frequently asked questions
- What information do I need to request a quote for this belt?
- Send the part number 1160 8M, or the profile and length if the marking is unreadable. A photo of the belt back and of the drive is also helpful.
- What should I check on the drive before fitting the new belt?
- Inspect the sheave teeth for wear and debris, check alignment and runout on both sheaves, confirm the bearings turn freely, and look for oil or heat damage.
- Does the belt have a specific tension setting?
- Tension to the drive manufacturer's specification and recheck after the first running period. We can help confirm the belt, but the drive sets the tension.
