Description
SKF PHC 81XH-C/L belongs to roller chain, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for PHC 81XH-C/L and any equivalents.
The SKF PHC roller chain is a precision power transmission component used to link shafts and transfer motion between sprockets. It is part of the transmission line that MR Industrial Accessories supplies to customers across the United States and several Latin American countries, alongside sheaves, bearings, and mounted units. For a quote, send the complete chain code by WhatsApp or email; our team responds promptly and can suggest equivalents.
The PHC designation covers roller chains in the SKF line. A complete code includes a number that indicates pitch and series, followed by suffixes that define construction variants. In PHC 81XH-C/L, the 81XH segment identifies the pitch and series, while C/L denotes a specific chain configuration. Recognizing these suffixes helps you order the correct replacement and avoid confusion when comparing with other nomenclatures.
These chains appear in food and bottling plants, metalworking shops, cement plants, and transport systems. They also serve in agricultural machinery, material handling equipment, and production lines that require positive, synchronized transmission. The roller construction absorbs loads and operates at moderate speeds with low maintenance.
When selecting a PHC chain, consider pitch, number of strands, required length, and lubrication type. Installation calls for accurate sprocket alignment and proper tension: too tight accelerates wear, too loose can cause the chain to jump. Correct lubrication and periodic cleaning extend service life. For dirty environments or extreme temperatures, ask about variants with surface treatment.
SKF roller chains can be interchanged with those from other manufacturers that follow the same pitch and dimensional standard. When replacing, compare pitch, inner width, and roller type, and verify sprocket compatibility. A similar code is not sufficient: a suffix difference can change strength or joint type. If you are unsure, send a photo of the original chain and its measurements.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the C/L suffix mean on a PHC chain?
- The C/L suffix indicates a construction variant within the PHC series. It may refer to the joint type or a roller feature. To confirm the exact configuration for your chain, send us the full code.
- How do I determine the chain pitch I need?
- Measure the distance between the centers of two consecutive rollers; this must match the sprocket pitch. If you lack data, use a caliper to measure pitch and inner width, then send those measurements with a photo. We will help you identify the correct chain.
- Are SKF chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
- Yes, provided the sprockets meet the same pitch and dimensional standard. Interchangeability depends on pitch and width, not brand. Before ordering, verify that the sprocket has the same pitch and tooth count as the original.
