The Optibelt 85 / 8M 2200 AFX is an Alpha Flex timing belt in the HTD 8M profile, with a 2200 mm length and an 8 mm pitch. Before you fit it, the drive itself is worth a look. A new belt on worn or misaligned components will not run the way it should.
Start with the sheaves. Check the tooth flanks for wear, look for corrosion or damaged teeth, and confirm the grooves are clean and free of debris. A sheave that has worn out of profile will not seat the belt correctly, and the belt will follow the same pattern. Check both sheaves on the drive, not just the one that is easy to reach.
Then check alignment and tension. Confirm the shafts are parallel and the sheaves are in line, since a belt running out of line will wear along one edge. Inspect the bearings and the shaft for play, and look at the structure the drive is mounted on for cracks or movement. Correct any of these before the new belt goes on.
The belt itself carries the marking 85 / 8M 2200 AFX. The HTD 8M profile and the 2200 mm length are what you match to the drive. If you are replacing a belt that has run for a long time, compare the marking on the back of the old belt against this one before you order.

Frequently asked questions
- What do I need to send to get a quote for this belt?
- Send the part number 85 / 8M 2200 AFX, or the profile and length from the old belt. A photo of the marking on the back of the belt helps us confirm the match. You can send it by WhatsApp or email.
- Can you help if my old belt marking is hard to read?
- Yes. Send what you can read, plus the profile and length, and a photo if possible. We can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
- Should I replace anything else at the same time?
- Inspect the sheaves, bearings and alignment before fitting the new belt. If any of those are worn or out of line, address them first so the belt runs correctly.
