The Optibelt 50 / 8M 2800 AFX is an Alpha Flex timing belt in HTD 8M profile with a 2800 mm length and 8 mm pitch. Before you fit it, spend a few minutes on the drive itself.
Check the sheaves for worn tooth flanks, corrosion in the grooves, and buildup of debris. A sheave that has worn out of shape will shorten the life of any new belt, so measure the wear and replace anything that is past its limit. Confirm the shafts are parallel and the pulleys are aligned so the belt runs true across the face.
Look at the tensioner and idler pulleys as well. Rough or loose bearings, a sticking tensioner, and a weak spring all show up as belt wear later. Where a drive runs more than one belt, fit the full set together so the load stays even across the drive.
Have the old belt in hand when you order. The marking on the back gives the part number, profile and length, and that is the quickest way to confirm you are matching the same size.
