SKF BT chains transmit motion between shafts through sprockets in industrial machinery. Their steel construction and standardized pitch and width suit demanding environments. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line for customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.
The BT series covers multiple chain configurations. Part numbers such as BT 515-0-13, BT 522-0-13, or BT 810-22-13 include a base number indicating size or pitch, followed by numeric groups for construction details like strand count or width. For instance, BT 1000-13 and BT 1050-13 share the -13 suffix, while BT 2002-13 has a different base. Contact MR for help interpreting a specific code.
Typical applications include conveyors, elevators, machine tools, bottling lines, and general transmission systems in food, metallurgy, cement, and agribusiness. These chains handle moderate loads and speeds, making them a practical choice for continuous production processes.
When selecting a BT chain, match pitch, strand count, and width to the sprockets. Verify shaft alignment and tension to reduce wear. Lubricate regularly with a lubricant suited to speed and operating temperature, and inspect seals in dusty or humid environments. Proper installation extends system life.
BT chains interchange with other brands meeting the same dimensional standards, such as ANSI or equivalent European chains. Compare pitch, width, and tensile strength before replacing. MR can advise on equivalents and confirm compatibility with your existing sprockets.
To request a quote, send the complete part number by WhatsApp or email. The MR team responds promptly with technical and commercial information, and can help identify the right chain if you provide machine data or a nameplate photo.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the BT designation mean in SKF chains?
- BT identifies SKF's roller chain series. The numbers and suffixes after BT indicate size, pitch, and construction variants. For example, BT 515-0-13 and BT 522-0-13 share the BT prefix and -13 suffix but have different base numbers. Contact MR to decode your specific part number.
- How do I choose the correct BT chain for my application?
- Determine the pitch, number of strands, and width of the original chain. Also note the sprocket tooth count and center distance. With that information, MR can recommend an equivalent BT model. If you don't have the data, send a photo or the old chain's code.
- Are SKF BT chains interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, provided they meet the same dimensional standards. SKF BT chains typically interchange with ANSI or European chains of similar pitch and width. Always compare tensile strength and pitch before replacement. MR can verify equivalence for your setup.
