This Optibelt 1168 8M 20 HIPO belt is a timing belt in the Omega High Power series. The marking gives you two key facts: an HTD 8M profile and a length of 1168 mm. The 8 mm pitch is the distance from one tooth to the next.

When you read the code 1168 8M 20 HIPO, the profile and length are what let you match the belt to the drive. HTD 8M is a synchronous profile with rounded teeth that engage the pulley grooves. The 1168 mm length is the belt's datum length. The 8 mm pitch tells you the spacing between tooth centers.

To confirm this belt fits your application, check the old belt's back marking for the same profile and length. If the marking reads 1168 8M 20 HIPO, this is the same size. You can also measure the old belt's length and compare it to 1168 mm. The profile must match the pulley grooves exactly.

If you are replacing a belt on a drive with more than one belt, replace all belts in the set at the same time. Mixing new and worn belts can cause uneven load sharing. Send us the part number from the old belt, and we can help confirm it or suggest an equivalent. We serve maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams across the US, Canada, Mexico and South America.
