The Optibelt 85 / 14M 8498 AFX is an HTD 14M timing belt with an 8498 mm length and a 14 mm pitch. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt runs true from the start. We carry this belt and quote by part number.
Start with the sheaves. Check the grooves for wear, scoring, or debris packed into the bottom, and confirm the sheaves are aligned and running true. A worn or misaligned sheave will damage a new synchronous belt quickly, no matter how good the belt is. If the old belt shows edge wear or unusual tooth marking, the sheave condition is the first place to look.
Then check the rest of the drive. Look at the tensioner, idler, and any bearing that supports the belt path. Confirm the belt path is clear and that nothing rubs the back or edges. With the HTD 14M profile and 14 mm pitch, the belt seats in the matching pulley grooves, so clean, true sheaves are what let it run correctly.
Have the belt marking ready when you request a quote. The 85 / 14M 8498 AFX identifies the profile and length, and the 8498 mm length is the number to match. If you are replacing more than one belt on the same drive, note that as well so we can quote the full set.
