SKF PHC roller chains transmit torque between parallel shafts in industrial machinery, keeping the drive synchronized and efficient. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams throughout the United States and Latin America, and can help you match a chain to your existing sprockets.

Reading a PHC code is the fastest way to confirm what you need. The first element is the pitch number per ISO 606, such as 04B, 05B, 06B or 08B. A hyphen and a digit follow: 1 means single strand, 2 means double strand. The DR suffix signals rollers of larger diameter, which are chosen where loads are heavy and wear is a concern. The letters C/L mean the chain arrives with connectors or connecting links, so it can be joined on site. Putting it together, a PHC 08B-2DR-C/L is an 08B pitch chain, double strand, with larger rollers and a connector in the box.

Typical installations include agricultural machinery drives, belt and roller conveyors, elevators, mixers, pumps and compressors. Food processing, cement and mining plants, and metalworking shops rely on them, as do continuous production lines and material handling systems. They run well at medium and high speeds and tolerate dusty conditions, which is why they appear in multi-shaft drives where uptime matters.

Selection starts with the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the transmission ratio and the nature of the load. Confirm the pitch and strand count against the sprockets already on the machine before ordering. During installation, align the sprockets carefully, set tension as the manufacturer specifies and apply the correct lubricant. In dirty or damp areas, consider suitable seals or lubricants. Checking tension and wear at regular intervals keeps the drive running and avoids unexpected failures.

PHC chains interchange with other ISO 606 products when pitch, strand count and roller type are the same. On a replacement, compare the full designation and make sure the connector matches. The DR option with larger rollers is not offered by every brand, so equivalence should be verified rather than assumed. Our team can review your code and suggest the correct chain for the application.
