For power transmission in industrial settings, the SKF PHC Series S roller chain is built to handle high loads and moderate speeds. It connects shafts and transmits motion synchronously with efficiency and durability. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and offers technical guidance to match the right chain to your application.
The code PHC …S-…FT breaks down as follows: PHC denotes the SKF roller chain series; the digits preceding the S give the pitch and series; the S stands for single strand; the digit after the hyphen shows the number of strands (1, 2, or 3); and FT means the chain comes in 10-foot lengths. For instance, PHC 36S-1X10FT, PHC 36S-2X10FT, and PHC 36S-3X10FT represent one-, two-, and three-strand chains, each with 3/4" pitch and 10-foot length.
These chains appear in many industrial settings across the United States and Latin America: flour mills, grain conveyors, food processing equipment, mining machinery, pump and compressor drives, and lifting systems. They are also common in agriculture for seeders and harvesters, and in aggregate processing plants. Their sturdy build suits dusty, humid, and variable-load conditions.
When choosing a PHC Series S chain, consider the power to transmit, sprocket speed, center distance, and environmental factors. Proper sprocket alignment and correct tension are critical to prevent early wear. Use the lubrication specified by the manufacturer for your speed and load; in dirty environments, consider sealed chains or seals. During installation, ensure sprockets are perfectly aligned and the chain is not over-tightened.
SKF PHC Series S chains conform to international dimensional standards, so they can interchange with other brands meeting the same standard and pitch. Before replacing a chain, verify pitch, strand count, and tensile strength. Tolerances can vary between brands, so consulting a specialist is wise. MR Industrial Accessories can advise on compatibility with other brands.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the designation PHC 36S-1X10FT mean?
- PHC indicates the SKF chain line; the number before the S is the pitch and series; S indicates single strand; the number after the hyphen is the strand count; and 10FT means 10-foot length. So it is a single strand roller chain, 3/4" pitch, 10 feet long.
- What is the difference between a one, two and three strand chain?
- The number of strands affects power transmission capacity: more strands mean greater strength and allowable load. Single strand chains suit lighter applications; two or three strand chains handle more demanding transmissions or where extra safety is needed.
- How should I lubricate an SKF PHC roller chain?
- Lubrication depends on speed and load. At low speeds, manual oil application works; at medium or high speeds, drip or oil bath lubrication is recommended. Check the manufacturer's data sheet for the right lubricant and frequency.
