The SKF PHC 81XH-O/L is a roller chain from the SKF power transmission line, built to connect sprockets and transfer motion in industrial equipment. Its long-pitch geometry supports demanding mechanical drives, and the chain is supplied with an offset link for field installation.
Reading the code helps with selection. PHC refers to the SKF roller chain family. The 81XH portion covers size and type: 81 is the pitch, while XH denotes a high-strength version. The O/L suffix means the chain includes an offset link. Use this breakdown when matching the chain to an existing drive or when comparing options.
These chains appear in food processing, cement, mining and material handling operations. Typical equipment includes conveyors, bucket elevators, agricultural machinery and bottling lines. The long-pitch design suits drives with greater shaft separation and moderate running speeds.
When choosing a chain, review the power to be transmitted, the operating speed and the sprocket tooth count. Correct installation calls for aligned sprockets and lubrication matched to the working environment. During service, inspect for wear and replace the chain once elongation passes the recommended limit.
SKF PHC chains can be used with other brands that share the same pitch and dimensional standard. For a quote, provide the complete part number and the number of links you need. If you are unsure which chain fits, our team can help identify the right option.
