For plants where moisture, washdowns and aggressive atmospheres wear out standard chains, SKF offers the PHC line with SSX and FT designations. These roller chains pair stainless steel construction with a surface treatment that resists corrosion. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code: PHC identifies the SKF roller chain family. The number that follows is the size, which sets the pitch and overall dimensions. After the hyphen, the digit tells you the strand count: -1 for single, -2 for double. The letters SSX and FT describe the material and finish: SSX means stainless steel, FT means an anti-corrosion treatment. So PHC 40-1SSX10FT is a size 40 chain, single strand, stainless steel, with FT treatment.
These chains are common in food and beverage plants, industrial washdown zones, wash tunnels, chemical processing equipment and outdoor conveyors. Pharmaceutical operations and water treatment plants also use them, since corrosion cuts the service life of ordinary chains. In these settings, daily cleaning is routine and components must withstand it without rusting.
When selecting a chain, check the pitch, the number of strands and how corrosive the environment is. SSX provides oxidation resistance, but it does not remove the need for lubrication: in wet areas, choose a lubricant made for stainless steel. Confirm sprocket alignment and correct tension, because misalignment speeds up wear even on stainless chains. Follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions for the series.
SKF PHC chains can replace other brands that share the same dimensional standards, provided pitch, strand count and roller type match. Stainless chains are not all the same: the FT treatment and steel quality affect performance. Before substituting a conventional chain, compare the full designation and ask a specialist.
If you have the code of the chain you currently use, send it to MR Industrial Accessories LLC by WhatsApp or email. We will quote the matching SKF PHC option and help you confirm pitch or strand count for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- What do SSX and FT mean on an SKF PHC chain?
- SSX indicates stainless steel construction, which resists corrosion. FT is an added anti-corrosion surface treatment. Together they suit humid or frequently washed environments where a standard chain would rust quickly.
- Can I use a conventional chain instead of a PHC SSX FT chain?
- In a corrosive environment, no. A conventional chain will rust sooner and may fail. In a dry, controlled area, a standard chain with the same pitch and strand count could work, but always check the operating conditions first.
- How do I decide between single and double strand?
- It depends on the load and the space available. Single-strand chains (-1) handle low to medium power transmission; double-strand chains (-2) transmit more power at the same pitch. Use transmission calculations or ask for technical advice.
