For industrial power transmission, the SKF PHC roller chain provides dependable performance in conveyors, drives, and other machinery. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies the PHC line in single- and multiple-strand configurations to match your equipment requirements.
The PHC part number structure is straightforward: the first digit gives the pitch in eighths of an inch, the second digit the number of strands, and the MTR suffix indicates a corrosion-resistant surface treatment. For instance, PHC 25-1X5MTR has a 6.35 mm pitch and one strand, while PHC 25-2X5MTR has two strands. Understanding this code helps you specify the correct chain quickly.
Applications span food processing, cement, automotive, and material handling. These chains perform well in dusty conditions and with variable lubrication schedules. The roller design reduces friction, which can help extend system life.
When selecting a chain, evaluate the transmitted load, operating speed, and environment. Proper sprocket alignment and tension are critical to avoid premature wear. Follow the manufacturer's lubrication recommendations; in corrosive settings, the MTR treatment adds surface protection. Use appropriate tools during installation to prevent damage to rollers and plates.
SKF PHC chains are dimensionally interchangeable with other brands meeting ISO 606 (DIN 8187/8188). When sourcing a replacement, compare pitch, strand count, and roller type. Steel quality and heat treatment can differ between manufacturers, so choose a brand known for strength and precision.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the MTR suffix indicate on SKF PHC chains?
- The MTR suffix indicates a special surface treatment that improves corrosion resistance. It is suitable for humid or chemically aggressive environments and does not alter dimensions or load capacity.
- When should I use a two-strand chain instead of a single-strand?
- Use a two-strand or three-strand chain when higher power transmission is needed at the same pitch, provided there is space for wider sprockets. A single-strand chain may suffice if space is limited.
- Can SKF PHC chains run on sprockets from other manufacturers?
- Yes, as long as the sprockets comply with ISO 606 (DIN 8187/8188) and match the pitch and number of strands. Verify the tooth profile to ensure proper meshing and avoid premature wear.
