The SKF PHC series roller chain is a power transmission component that connects sprockets and transfers motion between parallel shafts. It is found in industrial machinery that requires synchronized, positive drive. The roller design supports continuous operation in challenging conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission range, offering technical support to match pitch and configuration to each piece of equipment.
The PHC designation is built from several blocks that specify pitch, strand count, and length. In PHC 12B-1-L12WA2X156LK, for instance, 12B is the pitch under the European standard, -1 means single strand, L12 denotes a lubrication or treatment type, WA2 is a construction variant, and X156LK gives the link count and joint type. Reading these suffixes correctly lets you order the exact chain for the job.
SKF PHC roller chains serve many industries in the United States and Latin America, including food processing, cement, mining, and logistics. They appear in conveyors, elevators, packaging machines, mixers, and production line drives. Their capacity to handle loads and moderate speeds suits environments with dust, humidity, or controlled temperatures, as long as the right sealing and lubrication are chosen.
When selecting a chain, consider pitch, number of strands, length, and terminal type. Sealing and lubrication must match the working environment; for abrasive dust or moisture, a sealed or specially lubricated chain is preferable. During installation, align the sprockets and check tension to prevent premature wear. Regular lubrication and elongation checks are essential for long service life.
Roller chains are made to international standards such as ISO or DIN, so a chain from one brand can often replace another if pitch, strand count, and roller dimensions are identical. Always verify the full designation and tolerances, because small differences can affect performance. MR Industrial Accessories can help you identify a suitable equivalent chain.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the pitch of a PHC chain?
- The pitch appears in the designation as a number and letter, such as 12B. That code follows the European standard and defines the distance between rollers. To confirm the pitch on your chain, check the full code or measure the distance between the centers of two consecutive rollers.
- What does the LK suffix in the chain code mean?
- The LK suffix typically indicates the joint or terminal type, such as a connecting link or rivet. Respect this specification when replacing the chain to ensure proper assembly and reliable transmission.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with an SKF PHC one?
- Yes, provided the pitch, number of strands, and standardized dimensions match. Roller chains follow international standards, which simplifies interchangeability. Still, verify the complete designation and consult a specialist before purchasing.
