The SKF PHC C…H-C/L is a single-pitch roller chain that features a hollow pin. This design lets you mount attachments or perform special assemblies directly on the chain. It suits power transmission systems that demand a strong, dependable chain, and it is a practical choice for replacing worn chains or for new equipment builds.

Reading the code helps you specify the right chain. PHC is the SKF roller chain line. C means single-pitch roller chain. The number that follows, such as 2040 or 2060 in the examples, sets the size and pitch per the standard. H tells you the pin is hollow, so you can insert a pin or bolt to attach accessories. The -C/L suffix means the chain comes with a connecting link and/or a cotter link, as applicable. Example codes PHC C2040H-C/L and PHC C2060H-C/L follow this pattern for different sizes.

You will find this chain in food, metallurgical, cement and agricultural operations, on conveying and transmission equipment where scrapers, buckets or drag devices mount to the chain. It also shows up in textile machines, industrial washing systems and packaging equipment, as well as in processing plants, mills and production lines that need a wear-resistant chain with anchoring points.

When selecting a chain, check the pitch, number of strands, working load and linear speed of your system. Confirm the hollow pin matches the accessory you plan to mount. During installation, align the sprockets precisely, set proper tension and apply the correct lubrication for your environment, whether that involves temperature, humidity or dust. Inspect for wear and elongation on a regular schedule to avoid premature failures.

Hollow-pin roller chains can be interchanged between brands when pitch, pin diameter and general dimensions match the applicable standard. Manufacturers may differ in heat treatment or materials, so it is wise to verify equivalence against the original part number. Our team can guide you on interchangeability without compromising equipment performance.
