The SKF PHC roller chain is a power transmission part used to connect gears and carry motion between parallel shafts. You will find it on conveyors and production equipment where steady transmission is required. Rollers and steel plates make up its construction, which suits the loads and speeds of continuous duty. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries.
A PHC reference combines a number for the pitch with a suffix that describes the chain type and its features. Take PHC 16B-G1X5MTR: 16B is the pitch size under the standard, G is the chain series, 1 means a single row, X5 is the link count and MTR refers to a surface treatment or finish. Reading the code this way helps you match the chain to the drive.
These chains appear in food, cement, automotive and material handling operations. Typical equipment includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging machines and transmission drives in manufacturing plants. A wear-resistant design lets them work in dusty, humid or moderately warm conditions when maintenance is done on schedule.
Chain selection depends on the power to transmit, shaft speed, center distance and the surrounding conditions. Check sprocket alignment and tension, since both affect wear. Use the lubricant the manufacturer specifies, and where a seal is fitted, keep it free of contaminants. Confirm during installation that pins and plates sit correctly.
Roller chains are built to international standards such as ISO 606 or DIN 8187, so brands that follow those specifications can be interchanged. For a replacement, compare pitch, number of rows and number of links. Material quality may differ between makers, but a chain meeting the standard will run in the same system.

- How do I know if an SKF PHC chain is compatible with my machine?
- Check the pitch, the number of rows and the number of links of the original chain. If they match the PHC designation, it will be compatible. If in doubt, send us the full part number and we will help you validate it.
- How often should I lubricate a roller chain?
- The lubrication frequency depends on speed, load and environment. Under normal conditions, it is recommended to lubricate every 50 hours of operation or as indicated by the manufacturer. In dirty or humid environments, increase the frequency.
