The Optibelt 20 / 8M 5800 AFX is an Alpha Flex timing belt with an HTD 8M profile, a 5800 mm length and an 8 mm pitch. We carry it for maintenance and engineering teams that need a synchronous belt identified by part number. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt is not damaged by worn components.
Check the sheaves for worn grooves, corrosion, burrs or debris, and confirm they are clean and aligned. A sheave that has run with a worn belt can have a sharp or polished surface that will shorten the life of any new belt. Verify that the correct sheave matches the HTD 8M profile and that the 8 mm pitch is the pitch the drive requires.
Inspect the rest of the drive as well: shaft bearings, tensioning devices and guards. Confirm that the 5800 mm length is the length marked on the belt you are replacing, and check that the belt path is free of obstructions. If the old belt shows uneven wear, the cause is often in the drive rather than the belt.
Send us the part number 20 / 8M 5800 AFX, or the profile and length from the back of the old belt, by WhatsApp or email. Our team replies promptly and can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
