Description
OPTIBELT DS8M 1168 belongs to timing belt, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for DS8M 1168 and any equivalents.
The Optibelt DS8M 1168 is a double-sided timing belt with a length of 1168 mm. It is used where a drive needs synchronous power transmission from both faces of the belt. To match it to the belt being replaced, confirm the marking on the old belt and the drive layout before ordering.
Start by reading the back of the belt you are replacing. The part number DS8M 1168 identifies this double-sided timing belt, and the length is 1168 mm. Because the belt is double-sided, both faces carry teeth, so it can drive pulleys on either side. Check that the failed belt is also double-sided and that the length matches. If the old marking is worn or unreadable, measure the belt and note the tooth profile and length.
A double-sided timing belt is often used where two pulleys must turn in opposite directions or where space limits the drive to a single belt. When you request a quote, send the full part number, DS8M 1168, and the quantity. If you have the old belt, include a photo of the back marking and the drive. Our team can confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent based on the data you provide.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm this is the correct belt for my drive?
- Compare the part number on the back of the belt you are replacing with DS8M 1168. Confirm the belt is double-sided and that the length is 1168 mm. If the marking is not clear, send us the drive details and a photo.
- What information should I send with my quote request?
- Send the part number DS8M 1168, the quantity you need, and any photos of the old belt and drive. If you have the old belt, a clear photo of the back marking helps us confirm the match.
- Can I use this belt if the original is not double-sided?
- No. A double-sided timing belt has teeth on both faces and is designed for drives that require power transmission from both sides. If your original belt is single-sided, this belt is not a direct replacement.
