For drives that must stay in step, the SKF PHG timing belt delivers the precision of a gear with the flexibility of a belt. Its toothed profile engages grooved pulleys, so shafts turn together without slipping and the ratio holds steady. Machine tools, packaging lines and positioning systems rely on this kind of synchronous transmission. MR supplies the PHG line as part of its power transmission range.

Reading a PHG code is straightforward once you know the pattern. PHG marks the high-performance timing belt family. The first number and the letter after it give the pitch and tooth profile. The following number is the belt length, expressed in tenths of an inch or in millimeters depending on the standard. A trailing C indicates a construction variant, typically the compound and tensile cord. Take PHG 10A1160C: 10A pitch, 1160 length, C finish. That logic speeds up replacement identification.

You will find PHG belts in industrial sewing machines, wide-format printers, packaging equipment, precision conveyors and automatic door drives. Food processing favors them because they run clean and need no lubrication. Maintenance shops also install them when a belt shows fatigue or tension loss. Filling lines and cutting systems are typical examples where several shafts must stay synchronized.

Selection comes down to matching pitch and pulley profile exactly, or teeth will skip. Confirm length against the center distance and pulley tooth count. Set tension with a tensioner or by moving the center distance; too tight wears bearings, too loose causes slip. Pulley alignment matters just as much: angular or parallel misalignment cuts belt life. No lubrication is required, but keep the contact area clean.

Timing belts follow standards such as ISO 5296 or DIN 7721, which set pitch, profile and length. For a replacement, compare those three values plus belt width. Other brands may offer equivalent products, but commercial codes do not always line up, so verify the full designation. The SKF PHG series sits in the high-performance segment of timing belts, and MR supplies it as one of its brands.

To replace a timing belt, send the complete code by WhatsApp or email to MR. With that code and your equipment details, the team can quote the right option and suggest equivalents if needed. They also help you choose when the original designation is unclear.
