The Optibelt Omega 8M 1696 is a timing belt with an HTD 8M profile and a length of 1696 mm. Before fitting it, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt runs true and wears evenly.
Check the sheaves for worn grooves, burrs, or debris that can damage the belt teeth. Confirm the pulleys are aligned and the bearings turn freely. A drive that is out of alignment or has damaged components will shorten the life of any new timing belt, including the 8M 1696.
Verify the old belt marking against the profile and length. The HTD 8M profile and 1696 mm length must match the drive. If the marking is worn, measure the length and confirm the profile before ordering. The Optibelt Omega 8M 1696 is a timing belt with an 8 mm pitch.
When you request a quote, send the part number 8M 1696 and the quantity. If you need help confirming the right belt for your drive, include the profile and length from the old belt. We carry the Optibelt Omega line and can assist with your request.
