When corrosion or hygiene drives the decision, SKF's PHC line offers roller chains built entirely in stainless steel. These chains connect sprockets and transmit synchronized motion in industrial machinery, and the stainless construction stands up to repeated washdowns, high humidity and chemical exposure. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission range.

The part number tells you most of what you need. A typical code looks like PHC …B-…SS-C/L. PHC marks the SKF roller chain family. The figure ahead of the B is the nominal pitch under the European standard, and the code number pins down the exact pitch. The strand count comes from the suffix: -1 for single, -2 for double, -3 for triple. SS confirms stainless steel, and C/L indicates factory lubrication. Reading the full designation gives you pitch, strand count and finish at a glance.

These chains suit food and beverage operations where water and detergent washdowns would rust carbon steel. You also find them in chemical plants, wash tunnels, packaging machinery and filling lines. Coastal or marine settings, where salt air attacks standard chain, are another common application, as are meatpacking, dairy and canning facilities. Their cleanability makes them a frequent choice where sanitary conditions matter.

Selection starts with the load, the speed and the sprocket type. Stainless steel carries less strength than carbon steel, so check the service factor and avoid oversizing the speed. During installation, align the sprockets and set the tension carefully; an over-tight chain wears bushings and rollers faster. Choose a lubricant compatible with stainless steel and with the surrounding environment, and in washdown or food-contact areas use a lubricant rated for that service.

For equivalents, PHC stainless chains follow the standardized dimensions of the European B series, so other brands meeting the same standard and pitch can interchange. Still, confirm pitch, strand count and finish, since surface treatment or roller clearance may differ between brands. When replacing, compare the complete designation and key dimensions before asking for a quote.
