For power transmission duties that call for synchronization and dependable drive, the SKF PHC roller chain is a common pick in industrial machinery. It handles high loads at moderate speeds, and its construction suits demanding operating conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line within its power transmission range and can help you match the right chain to the application.
The PHC code carries meaning. The X suffix marks an extended-pitch chain, while O/L tells you the chain comes with seals or O-rings for setups that rely on permanent lubrication. Take PHC 81X-O/L: that is a 1-inch pitch chain fitted with seals. Reading these suffixes correctly is what keeps you from ordering the wrong item.
You will find PHC roller chains in food processing, cement, mining and material handling operations. Typical equipment includes conveyors, elevators, agricultural machinery and bottling lines. Because they can carry power over long center distances, they suit low-speed, high-load drives, motor-to-reducer connections and automated production lines.
Selection comes down to pitch, strand count, lubrication method and the environment around the drive. Where dust or moisture is present, O/L sealing helps hold lubricant in and keep contaminants out. Confirm sprocket alignment and correct tension to avoid early wear, and keep up with lubrication and stretch checks to get more service life from the system.
PHC chains interchange with other brands that follow the same dimensional standards, whether ANSI or ISO series. On a replacement job, match the pitch and number of strands to the existing sprocket. If the application calls for seals or corrosion-resistant materials, our team can review equivalent options with you.

Frequently asked questions
- What do the X and O/L suffixes indicate on a PHC chain?
- X means the chain has an extended pitch. O/L means it is supplied with seals or O-rings that help retain lubricant, which is useful in dusty or humid locations where you want longer intervals between maintenance.
- Can SKF PHC chains run on sprockets from other manufacturers?
- They can, provided the sprockets meet equivalent dimensional standards such as ANSI or ISO. Check the pitch and the number of strands so the chain and sprocket mesh correctly.
