These SKF PHC series chains are metric-pitch transmission chains that feature a hollow pin and carbon steel plates. They connect parallel shafts in many types of industrial machinery, including conveyors and bottling lines. The hollow pin design supports the mounting of attachments and allows internal lubrication, which makes these chains a flexible option for tough applications.

The part number tells you a lot about the chain. PHC is the SKF roller chain line. The number after PHC gives the pitch in eighths of an inch: 50 means 5/8 inch, 60 means 3/4 inch, 80 means 1 inch, and so on. The suffix -1C, -2C or -3C shows whether the chain is single, double or triple strand. The -C/L ending means the chain has a hollow pin (C) and lifetime lubrication (L). For example, PHC 50-1C-C/L is a single-strand chain with 5/8 inch pitch, hollow pin and permanent lubrication.

These chains are used in power transmission across industries such as food processing, cement, paper, mining and material handling. They appear in roller conveyors, bucket elevators, machine tools, packaging equipment and pump or compressor drives. Their construction handles dusty, humid or variable-load conditions when the pitch and number of strands are selected correctly.

Proper selection depends on the power to transmit, the rotation speed, the center distance and the operating environment. The hollow pin lets you mount attachments or fasteners directly on the chain, which simplifies conveyor design. Lifetime lubrication cuts maintenance, but you still need to check sprocket alignment and tension to prevent early wear. In very dirty applications, consider adding seals.

SKF PHC chains interchange with other brands that follow ISO 606 for metric pitch or the ANSI standard for inch pitches. When replacing, confirm that pitch, number of strands and pin type match. Avoid mixing chains from different manufacturers in one transmission because tolerances can differ. If you need an equivalent, send us the original part number and we will advise you.
