When a drive needs to keep two shafts exactly in step, a timing belt is often the answer. The SKF PHG AX…EP series pairs the quiet running of a belt with the tooth-to-groove engagement of a gear, so the ratio stays constant and there is no slip. Typical uses include machine tools, printing presses, automation systems and engine timing.
Reading the code helps you order the right item. PHG is the SKF timing belt family. AX refers to the metric-pitch toothed profile, which follows its own naming rather than the T profile. The figure after AX is the pitch length in millimeters, so PHG AX20EP measures 20 mm. EP marks a special build, usually a rubber compound with a strong tensile cord. Sizes in the series step up in increments that vary by case.
You will find these belts in automotive engine timing, food conveyors and dosing units, printing cylinder synchronization, robot positioning axes, and machine tool spindles and feeds. Packaging lines, industrial printers, screw compressors and textile machinery also rely on them. Because they transmit motion without slipping, they suit any drive where angular speed between shafts must stay exact.
Selection starts with the pulley profile, which must match the pitch. Then confirm the required pitch length, the belt width, and the operating conditions such as temperature and exposure to oil or dust. During installation, align the pulleys carefully to prevent uneven wear and noise. Tension matters: too loose and the teeth can jump; too tight and the bearings take extra load. No lubrication is needed, but keep the area clean. Check periodically for wear and tension loss.
For equivalences, SKF timing belts can replace other brands when profile, pitch and length agree. Codes are not universally standardized, so verify the critical dimensions. When you request a quote, give the full part number, for example PHG AX22EP, plus pulley dimensions and center distance if you have them. That lets us confirm you receive the correct belt.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the EP suffix mean on SKF PHG AX…EP belts?
- EP indicates a special construction, generally a rubber compound with a reinforced tensile cord. This gives it greater durability and load capacity than standard belts.
- How do I choose the correct length for a PHG AX…EP belt?
- Base the length on the center distance between pulleys and the number of meshing teeth. The part number includes the pitch length in millimeters, such as 22 mm. Contact us and we will help you determine the exact size.
- Are SKF PHG AX…EP belts compatible with pulleys from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the profile and pitch match. Timing belts are made to dimensional standards, but always verify pitch and width. If in doubt, send us your pulley dimensions and we will advise you.
