When a drive needs the two shafts to stay in step, a toothed belt does what a friction belt cannot: it transmits motion through meshing teeth instead of grip. The SKF PHG line covers metric pitch profiles for this kind of synchronized duty, and MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its power transmission range.

Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm you have the right item. The letters PHG mark the metric profile family; the figure that follows the dash, such as 3M, states the pitch in millimeters; then come the pitch length and the width, also in millimeters. So PHG 60-3M-6 measures 60 mm in length and 6 mm across, PHG 81-3M-9 is 81 mm long and 9 mm wide, and PHG 87-3M-15 pairs an 87 mm length with a 15 mm width. That last figure is what you match to the pulley groove and to the load the drive has to carry.

Typical installations include parallel-shaft arrangements that must hold a fixed speed relationship: pumps, fans, small compressors, positioning axes, machine tools, printers and automated equipment. The same profile also shows up in appliance production, office equipment manufacturing and in the food, textile and woodworking sectors. Because the code fixes the pitch, these belts suit moderate power levels and belt speeds kept inside the range that pitch allows.

Sizing a PHG 3M drive comes down to three inputs: pulley tooth counts, the distance between centers and the power to be transmitted. Confirm the pitch agrees with the pulleys before anything else, then check that the width fits the groove. At installation, line the pulleys up carefully; misalignment shows up later as uneven wear and running noise. Set tension in the middle ground, loose enough that the teeth do not climb out of the grooves and tight enough that the shaft bearings are not overloaded. The belts run dry, so no lubrication step is involved, but keep grit and other abrasives away from the drive.

Belts built to the same metric profile from other makers can generally stand in, provided pitch, length and width all correspond. Materials and coatings differ slightly from one manufacturer to another, so it is worth checking the existing pulleys before you commit. MR Industrial Accessories carries the SKF brand as part of its power transmission line and can point you to the right option for the application.

For a replacement or a new drive design, send the complete part number by WhatsApp or email. That is enough for the team to identify the belt and prepare your quote, and if you include your pulley data and the equipment power, they can also help you settle on length and width.
