The SKF PHG VSM timing belt is a synchronous drive belt with a toothed profile that delivers the precision of a gear with the flexibility of a belt. It synchronizes shafts and transmits motion without slipping in many industrial machines. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission catalog for customers across the United States and Latin America.
The part number PHG VSM-…PK… tells you key details: PHG is the SKF timing belt family, VSM means a synchronous belt with trapezoidal profile, and the …PK… indicates the number of grooves or teeth. For instance, in PHG VSM-6PK1550, the 6 is the number of grooves and 1550 is the outside length in millimeters. In PHG VSM-6PK1875, the groove count stays the same but the length is 1875 mm. Reading these values correctly is essential when selecting a replacement.
These belts are found in food, textile, wood and metalworking industries, on machines that need precise synchronization: compressors, pumps, fans, conveyors and packaging equipment. They handle dusty or humid environments and continuous duty thanks to their wear-resistant construction.
When choosing a PHG VSM belt, check the number of grooves, the outside length and the pulley profile. Make sure the pulley matches the belt pitch and width. During installation, align the pulleys and set the correct tension: too much tension speeds wear on teeth and bearings, while too little causes jumping and loss of synchronization. Lubricate the system bearings, not the belt.
For equivalences, SKF PHG VSM belts can interchange with other brands using the same profile designation and groove count, such as the PK series. However, dimensional tolerances may vary between manufacturers. Always compare the complete designation and verify critical dimensions before replacing. If unsure, consult us with the original part number.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the SKF timing belt I need?
- Check the designation on the belt, for example PHG VSM-6PK1550. The first number is the groove count (6) and the final number is the outside length in millimeters (1550). Provide that part number for a quote.
- Can I replace a belt from another brand with an SKF PHG VSM?
- Yes, if the number of grooves and the length match. Timing belts from different brands are often interchangeable when they share the profile designation and dimensions. Still, verify the pulley profile for compatibility.
- How often should a timing belt be changed?
- There is no fixed interval; it depends on working conditions, load and maintenance. Inspect periodically for wear, cracks or damaged teeth. If you notice noise or slipping, replace it. Correct tension and alignment extend service life.
