SKF PHC series B roller chains are used to connect toothed shafts and transmit motion in a synchronized way. They come in stainless steel and with an MTR surface treatment, which makes them suitable for tough conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and offers technical guidance to help you pick the right chain.

The part number tells you what you are getting. PHC is the roller chain family. The number after it—04B, 05B, 06B, or 08B—is the size under the European standard; larger numbers mean a bigger pitch and more load capacity. The suffix -1, -2, or -3 shows whether the chain is single, double, or triple strand. SSX means stainless steel, and 5MTR is a specific surface treatment. So PHC 06B-2SSX5MTR is a double-strand chain with 06B pitch, made of stainless steel with MTR treatment.

You will find these chains in agricultural machinery, packaging equipment, conveyors, mixers, and drive systems in industrial plants. They are common in food processing, where resistance to corrosion matters and equipment is cleaned often or exposed to moisture. They also work in metallurgical operations and production lines with moderate loads and medium speeds.

Selection comes down to pitch, number of strands, and steel type. Sealing and lubrication are critical. In corrosive settings, the stainless steel version with MTR treatment gives longer service. Check sprocket alignment and tension to prevent early wear. Use a lubricant that matches the material and operating conditions. If the chain runs at high temperatures or with shock loads, review the technical specifications.

For equivalences, SKF PHC series B chains follow the European standard and can be swapped with other brands that meet the same standard and designation. Before replacing a chain, confirm pitch, number of strands, and steel type. Chains with the same designation may not perform the same because surface treatment and material can differ between manufacturers. To be safe, compare data sheets or ask our team.
