This Optibelt Alpha Flex timing belt is identified by the code 50 / 8M 8600 AFX. It uses the HTD 8M profile with an 8 mm pitch and a length of 8600 mm. Before fitting it, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt runs correctly.
A new synchronous belt will not correct worn or misaligned components. Check the sheaves for tooth wear, corrosion, cracks and buildup in the grooves. Confirm that the shafts and bearings turn freely and that the sheave alignment is within the drive's requirements. Any looseness or runout should be addressed before the belt is installed.
Match the replacement to the marking on the old belt. This belt is an Optibelt Alpha Flex timing belt, type 50 / 8M 8600 AFX, with an HTD 8M profile, 8 mm pitch and 8600 mm length. If the existing belt is damaged or the marking is unreadable, measure the drive and note the sheave tooth count and center distance so the correct belt can be confirmed.
When you request a quote, send the full part number 50 / 8M 8600 AFX and the quantity needed. Photos of the old belt marking and the sheaves help confirm the profile and length. We carry Optibelt belts and can review the drive details with you before you order.
