The SKF PHC Series S roller chain is built for power transmission where loads are high and speeds are moderate. You will find it in agricultural equipment, conveying lines, lifting systems and many other industrial drives. Its construction and dimensional accuracy support dependable operation over time. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission range.
Reading the code helps you order the right chain. In PHC 36S, the number 36 gives the pitch in eighths of an inch, so 36/8 equals 4.5 inches. The S stands for single-strand. A digit after the S shows how many strands: 1, 2, 3 and so on. The C/L suffix identifies the lubrication or surface treatment. So PHC 36S-1C/L is a 4.5-inch pitch, single-strand chain with C/L lubrication, while PHC 36S-2C/L is a two-strand version. With this naming system you can match the chain to the power to be transmitted and the space available.
These chains appear in food processing, cement, mining, agriculture and materials handling. Typical equipment includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mill drives, mixers and packaging machinery. They handle dusty conditions and moderate temperatures well, which makes them a practical choice across many plants. MR Industrial Accessories offers them both for replacement and for new projects.
Selection depends on the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the pitch and the number of strands. Check sprocket alignment and correct tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication matters: follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your application and environment. If dust or moisture is present, consider extra protection. Use suitable tools for assembly and respect the recommended axial clearance. Careful installation extends the service life of the assembly.
SKF PHC Series S roller chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow ISO 606 (formerly DIN 8188). When replacing a chain, confirm that pitch, inner width and roller diameter match the original. Designations from other brands may differ, but pitch numbers and strand counts are usually equivalent. For critical applications, it is best to have a specialist confirm compatibility. MR Industrial Accessories can advise you on selecting the equivalent chain.

- PHC is the series, 36 is the pitch in eighths of an inch (4.5 inches), S means single-strand, 1 is the number of strands, and C/L is the lubrication type. This code lets you identify the main characteristics of the chain.
- With which other brands are SKF PHC chains interchangeable?
- They are interchangeable with chains that comply with ISO 606 (DIN 8188), including those from other recognized brands. Verify pitch, width and roller diameter. Contact us on WhatsApp to confirm the exact equivalence.
- What lubrication do you recommend for a PHC chain?
- Lubrication depends on speed and load. For general applications, a good-quality oil or grease works well. In dusty environments, use lubricants that do not attract particles. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and ask us if you are unsure.
