For drives that must stay in step, SKF PHG S8M timing belts offer a molded-tooth design with high-strength rubber and tensile cords. They transmit torque without slipping, keeping shafts synchronized in a range of industrial equipment.
Each belt carries a code such as PHG S8M-480-20. PHG denotes the high-performance line, S8M the profile with 8 mm pitch, 480 the pitch length in millimeters, and 20 the width in millimeters. Other codes in the series may show different profiles, pitches, lengths, and widths. Reading the old belt's code or measuring with a caliper gives you the exact replacement.
Typical applications include machine tool shafts, pumps, compressors, packaging machinery, industrial printers, and positioning systems. Food, textile, wood, and automotive plants rely on these belts, as do maintenance shops that replace imported drives. The metric profile fits common pulleys, making it a practical choice when updating drives that used similar belts from other brands.
Selection starts with matching the pitch and width to the pulley groove. The pitch length must suit the center distance and pulley tooth count. During installation, check pulley alignment and set tension carefully: too tight wears bearings, too loose risks tooth jump. Follow the machine builder's guidance and inspect cords and teeth before fitting.
Interchange with other brands is possible when profile, pitch, width, and tooth type align. Because load capacity can differ even at the same pitch, compare compound and construction as well. Send us the full code and we can help you find a suitable equivalent from our power transmission range.

Frequently asked questions
- What does a PHG belt code tell me?
- PHG indicates the high-performance line. The next block gives the profile and pitch, followed by pitch length in millimeters and width in millimeters. This code identifies the exact belt for your drive.
- How do I choose the belt width?
- The width must match the pulley. If the pulley accepts 30 mm, a 20 mm belt would reduce transmission capacity. Measure the old belt or check the machine data sheet.
- Can I replace a belt from another brand with an SKF PHG S8M?
- Yes, if the profile, pitch, and width match. Confirm the original belt has the same profile and that the pitch length is compatible. Send us the code and we will confirm the equivalent.
