For drives that combine heavy loads with moderate speeds, the SKF PHC Series H roller chain is a solid choice. It connects sprockets to transmit motion in sync across industrial equipment, and its short-pitch, reinforced design handles tough conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission range.
The part number tells you a lot. After PHC, the first digits give the pitch in eighths of an inch: 35 means 3/8", 40 means 1/2", 50 means 5/8", 60 means 3/4", and 80 means 1". The H shows a heavy-duty build with thicker plates and pins. A hyphen and a digit follow: 1 for single strand, 2 for double, 3 for triple. The MTR suffix indicates the chain comes in fixed lengths, such as 5 or 30 meters.
These chains appear in many industrial settings: production lines, conveyors, agricultural machinery, bottling equipment, and lifting systems. They are common in food processing, cement, mining, and aggregate plants. Their ability to run in dusty conditions or with occasional lubrication makes them a practical replacement option for maintenance teams.
When selecting a PHC Series H chain, consider the power to transmit, sprocket speed, and the operating environment. Check sprocket alignment and keep lubrication at the right level to extend service life. Standard roller chains do not use seals, so control play and tension instead. For high-load jobs, multi-strand versions distribute stress more effectively.
SKF PHC Series H chains interchange with other brands that follow ISO 606 (DIN 8187/8188) for short-pitch roller chains. During replacement, confirm that pitch, strand count, and strength match the original. Equivalences exist, but heat treatment and materials can differ between manufacturers, so it is wise to consult a specialist before mixing components from different sources.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the H suffix mean in an SKF PHC chain?
- The H indicates a heavy-duty version with stronger plates and pins than the standard chain, making it suitable for more demanding loads or severe conditions.
- How do I choose between a single, double or triple chain?
- The number of strands depends on the power to transmit and the space available. Multi-strand chains spread the load across several sprockets, increasing capacity without changing the pitch.
- Are SKF PHC chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
- Yes, if the sprockets meet ISO 606 for short-pitch roller chains. Verify that pitch and strand count match to ensure correct operation and avoid premature wear.
