When you need a roller chain for power transmission, the SKF PHC series is a solid option for industrial machinery. These chains handle demanding loads and speeds, making them suitable for conveyors, packaging equipment, and more. Their construction and precision support dependable operation over time. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States and several Latin American countries.

Reading a PHC code is straightforward. The number after PHC gives the chain pitch per ISO 606, such as 04B, 05B, 06B, or 08B. A suffix of -1, -2, or -3 tells you whether the chain is single, double, or triple strand. The letters C/L denote a chain type that often features hollow pins or special ends. So a code like PHC 05B-2C/L means pitch 05B, two strands, and a C/L configuration. These designations let you identify key traits at a glance.

You will find SKF PHC roller chains in food processing, cement, mining, automotive, and materials handling operations. They are common in clinker conveyors, bucket elevators, filling and packaging machines, and drive systems within industrial plants. Their resistance to wear and fatigue suits dusty or high-temperature environments, as long as you select the right lubricant and perform periodic maintenance.

Selecting the correct PHC chain involves several factors: the power to be transmitted, sprocket speed, center distance, and ambient conditions. Confirm that the pitch matches your existing sprockets and that the strand count fits the load. During installation, check sprocket alignment, set proper tension, and apply adequate lubrication. Inspect for wear regularly and replace the chain once elongation exceeds 2%. Careful installation helps extend the service life of the entire system.

SKF PHC chains conform to ISO 606 and DIN 8187, so they can be interchanged with other brands that meet these standards—such as Renold, Tsubaki, or Diamond—provided the pitch and number of strands are the same. Keep in mind that materials and heat treatments can vary between manufacturers, so it is wise to verify compatibility before mixing components. For replacements, stick with the same designation and ask a specialist if anything is unclear.
