For operations that need dependable motion transfer between parallel shafts, the SKF PHC C2040 roller chain delivers. It is built from high-strength steel and comes in single, double or triple strand versions, with or without a connecting link. This chain suits industrial equipment where synchronization and wear resistance matter in continuous duty.
The part number PHC C2040-A1-C/L breaks down into clear segments. PHC is the SKF roller chain family. C2040 sets the size, which fixes the pitch and key dimensions. A1 means single strand; A2 would be double and A3 triple. C/L shows the chain ships with a connecting link for joining. Reading the code this way helps you match the chain to your power needs and space limits.
These chains appear in conveyors, elevators, machine tools, packaging lines and transmission drives across food, textile and metalworking plants. Their construction handles dust, vibration and changing loads. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line for both replacements and new builds, and can advise on pitch and strand count.
When choosing a chain, look at the power to transmit, shaft speed, center distance and the operating environment. Check sprocket alignment, keep lubrication adequate and inspect tension on a regular schedule. Sealing and roller clearance affect how long the chain lasts, so in corrosive or dirty settings consider extra protection or a suitable lubricant.
SKF PHC chains interchange with other brands that meet the ANSI or ISO roller chain standard, as long as pitch, strand count and connecting link type align. During replacement, compare the complete part number and critical dimensions.

Frequently asked questions
- What does C/L mean in the chain designation?
- C/L means the chain includes a connecting link, also called a connector or joining link. This link lets you close the chain loop around the sprockets. If you need an endless chain, you can request it without this link, but it usually arrives with one for assembly.
- How can I tell if a PHC chain fits my current sprocket?
- Check that the chain pitch matches the sprocket pitch. The C2040 code indicates a 1/2 inch pitch. Also confirm the number of strands: a single-strand sprocket requires an A1 chain. Send us your sprocket part number and we will verify compatibility.
- How often should a roller chain be lubricated?
- The interval depends on speed, load and environment. Under normal conditions, lubricate every 50 hours of operation or weekly. In dusty or high-temperature areas, shorten the interval. Use the lubricant recommended by the equipment maker and make sure it reaches the rollers.
