The SKF PHC roller chain is a key part for transmitting power in industrial machinery. It handles high loads and moderate speeds, making it suitable for many applications that need synchronization and reliability. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and offers technical guidance to help you choose the right model.
The part number tells you a lot about the chain. PHC means it belongs to the SKF roller chain line. The number that follows, such as 12B or 16B, gives the pitch and size per ISO 606. After that, -1 means single strand, -L2 means pre-lubricated, WA2 is a surface treatment, X5 is the packaging or presentation, and MTR means the chain comes in meters. For instance, PHC 12B-1-L2WA2X5MTR is a single strand chain with 12B pitch, pre-lubricated, with a treatment, supplied in 5-meter sections. The pitch and treatment change with the part number.
You will find these chains in chain drives across food, cement, mining, agricultural, and material handling industries. They are common in conveyor belts, elevators, machine tools, bottling equipment, and roller drive systems. Their sturdy build suits dusty, humid, and variable-load environments, as long as you pick the right pitch and strength.
When selecting, consider the power to transmit, the speed, the center distance, and the operating conditions. Check sprocket alignment, proper tension, and correct lubrication to get the most life. Surface treatments like WA2 help resist corrosion and wear. Use the right tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions during assembly to prevent early failures.
For interchangeability, SKF PHC chains meet ISO 606, so you can replace them with chains from other makers that follow the same standard. Still, confirm the pitch, number of strands, and suffixes, since these can differ between brands. For full compatibility, talk to a specialist and have the complete part number of your original chain ready.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the MTR suffix mean in the chain designation?
- MTR means the chain is supplied in linear meters, not in assembled sections. You can cut it to the length you need and join it with the right connector. Keep in mind that the final length may vary depending on how you assemble it.
- Are SKF PHC chains interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, if they follow ISO 606 and the pitch, number of strands, and lubrication type match. But check the specific suffixes, as they can indicate treatments or features that affect compatibility.
- What lubrication do you recommend for these chains?
- It depends on speed and load. For standard use, medium-viscosity oil or grease works. In corrosive settings, pick lubricants with EP additives. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to get the most service life.
