The Optibelt 55 / 14M 4998 AFX is an Alpha Flex timing belt in the HTD 14M profile, with a 4998 mm length and a 14 mm pitch. Before this belt goes on, the drive itself is worth a look. A new synchronous belt will not correct worn sheave grooves or a misaligned drive.
Inspect the sheaves for groove wear, corrosion and buildup in the tooth spaces. Check that both shafts turn freely and that bearings show no play or roughness. Confirm the sheaves are aligned and that the drive frame and mounts are sound, since a belt running on a distorted drive will not seat correctly.
Verify the replacement against the marking on the old belt. The Optibelt 55 / 14M 4998 AFX carries the HTD 14M profile, a 4998 mm length and a 14 mm pitch, so the profile and length on the back of the belt should match these figures. If the marking is worn or unreadable, measure the old belt and compare it with the part number before ordering.
Send the part number, the belt marking and the drive details by WhatsApp or email and we will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent. If the drive runs more than one belt, order the full set so all belts on the drive are replaced together.
