The Optibelt 50 / 5M 6800 AFX is an Alpha Flex timing belt with an HTD 5M profile, a 6800 mm length and a 5 mm pitch. To match it to the belt being replaced, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare each value in that order.

Start with the profile. HTD 5M identifies the tooth shape and pitch system, so the replacement must carry the same profile. Then check the length: 6800 mm must agree with the old belt's stated length. Finally confirm the part number 50 / 5M 6800 AFX, which ties the profile and length together in one Optibelt Alpha Flex reference.

If the back of the old belt is worn or the marking cannot be read, measure the length and count the teeth rather than guessing. A belt that is close in size but different in profile will not run correctly on the pulleys. Send the full part number, the profile and the length in millimeters when you request a quote, and the team can confirm the right Optibelt belt or suggest an equivalent.

For drives that use more than one belt, replace the full set at the same time so the load stays even across the pulleys. Inspect the pulleys for wear or damage before fitting the new belt, and check the tension after installation. The same size may also be listed under other brands, which is useful when a machine carries a different name on the belt.
