For drives exposed to moisture, chemicals or frequent washdowns, the SKF PHC roller chain with SSX and MTR suffixes offers a stainless steel construction with a surface treatment that enhances corrosion resistance. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this chain line and provides technical guidance to match pitch, strand count and length to your application.

The PHC code breaks down into pitch, strand count and treatment. The number after PHC gives the pitch in eighths of an inch per ANSI: PHC 25 is 1/4", PHC 35 is 3/8", PHC 40 is 1/2", and PHC 41 is 1/2" with smaller rollers. A hyphen followed by 1 or 2 indicates single or double strand. The SSX suffix denotes stainless steel with a special finish for corrosion resistance, while MTR means the chain is supplied in meters. For instance, PHC 40-2SSX5MTR is a 1/2" pitch, double-strand chain in stainless steel with SSX treatment, in meter length.

These chains are common in food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical and water treatment plants, as well as packaging lines, conveyors, industrial washers and outdoor machinery. In such settings, regular cleaning and aggressive agents can quickly degrade standard chains, so the corrosion resistance of the SSX treatment helps reduce maintenance interruptions.

When selecting, confirm the pitch, number of strands, total length and sprocket type. During installation, align the sprockets and set proper tension: too tight accelerates wear, too loose risks jumping. Lubrication remains important even with stainless steel; use a lubricant suited to the environment, and a food-grade product in food areas. Check for elongation periodically and replace the chain once it exceeds 3% of its original length.

For equivalences, SKF PHC chains with SSX and MTR suffixes can be interchanged with other ANSI-standard chains offering comparable materials and treatments. Verify pitch, strand count and roller type, since surface treatments vary and corrosion performance may differ. For replacements, compare specifications and consult a specialist. MR Industrial Accessories can help you identify a suitable equivalent.
