This Optibelt Alpha Flex timing belt is identified by its HTD 14M profile and 3696 mm length. Those two figures, along with the 14 mm pitch, are what you match against the belt you are replacing. We carry it for maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams across the US, Canada, Mexico and South America.
The profile sets the tooth form and the length sets the fit. An HTD 14M belt uses a 14 mm pitch, so the spacing between tooth centers is fixed by the profile. The 3696 mm length is the datum you compare with the marking on the old belt or with the drive drawing. If both the profile and the length agree, you are looking at the same size.
The code 55 / 14M 3696 AFX is the reference to send when you request a quote. You can message it by WhatsApp or email, and the team will confirm the belt against your application. If you are unsure whether this is the right one, send the full marking from the back of the belt and the drive details you have.
Inspect the drive before ordering. Check the pulleys for worn teeth, the belt for cracking or fraying, and the tension and alignment. On drives that run more than one belt, replace the set together so the load stays even. Note the condition of any idler or tensioner as well.
