This Optibelt Super TX M=S belt is a cogged classical V-belt with profile BX and a length of 1290 mm. Before you fit it, take a few minutes to inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt runs true and lasts.
Check sheave grooves for wear, rust, or embedded debris. A worn groove lets the belt sit too deep, so it slips and overheats. Look for a step or ridge where the belt rides; if you can catch a fingernail on it, the sheave needs attention. Also confirm the sheaves are aligned with a straightedge across both faces. Misalignment shortens belt life and can throw the belt.
Turn the drive by hand and feel for rough or noisy bearings. Worn bearings add vibration and heat that a new belt cannot fix. Check the tensioning system: it should move freely and hold setting. If the drive uses multiple belts, replace them as a set so lengths match and load is shared evenly. Clean the grooves before fitting the Optibelt X17 x 1290.
After the belt is on, run the drive briefly and recheck tension. Cogged classical V-belts like this BX-profile, 1290 mm belt seat quickly, so a second tension check after a short run helps. Keep the sheaves clean and aligned, and the belt will wear evenly.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check on the sheaves before fitting this belt?
- Inspect the grooves for wear, rust, and debris. Look for a ridge where the belt rides, which indicates a worn sheave. Verify alignment with a straightedge across both sheaves.
- How do I confirm this is the right belt for my drive?
- Read the marking on the old belt and match the profile and length. This Optibelt belt is profile BX and 1290 mm long. If the old marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and check the groove width.
