Description
SKF PHP 5-B160-SF belongs to drive pulley, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for PHP 5-B160-SF and any equivalents.
SKF PHP-B-SF pulleys are power transmission components for B-section V-belt drives. They use an SF taper bushing to mount on the shaft. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you choose the right pulley for your application.
The part number breaks down as follows: PHP indicates the SKF pulley family; the first number shows the number of grooves (2, 3, 4, etc.); B is the V-belt section; the next number is the pitch diameter in millimeters (200, 250, 300, etc.); and SF specifies the taper bushing type. For example, PHP 2-B200-SF is a 2-groove pulley for B-section belts, 200 mm pitch diameter, with SF bushing. Series include various groove counts and diameters depending on the part number.
These pulleys are found in many industries across the United States and Latin America, including food, textile, wood, plastics, cement, mining and agriculture. Typical equipment includes fans, pumps, compressors, conveyors, mixers and machine tools. Their design allows precise speed ratios and helps absorb vibration, which can extend bearing life and reduce noise. Proper selection directly affects the energy efficiency of the drive.
When selecting a pulley, consider the power to transmit, the speed of the fast shaft and the desired ratio. The belt section must match the pulley (B section here). The SF taper bushing simplifies mounting and removal and provides a firm fit without play. Align the pulleys and tension the belt according to the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid premature wear. The pulley itself does not require lubrication, but the shaft bearings do. Inspect belts regularly and replace them if cracked or worn.
For equivalences, SKF PHP pulleys can replace other brands that use the same taper bushing system and belt section. Always verify critical dimensions: pitch diameter, number of grooves, section and bushing type. At MR Industrial Accessories we can help you identify the correct pulley for your machine, whether you are replacing an existing one or designing a new drive.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the SF suffix mean on an SKF PHP pulley?
- The SF suffix indicates the taper bushing type used to mount the pulley on the shaft. This system provides a firm fit and simplifies mounting and dismounting without special tools. Verify that the bushing matches the shaft diameter.
- Can I replace a pulley from another brand with an SKF PHP?
- Yes, if the belt section, number of grooves, pitch diameter and bushing type match. SKF PHP pulleys are compatible with other brands using the same taper bushing system. Send us the original part number and we will confirm the equivalence.
- How do I choose the number of grooves on the pulley?
- The number of grooves depends on the power to be transmitted and the number of belts required. Higher power usually means more grooves. Available space and the transmission ratio also matter. If unsure, send us your machine data and we will advise.
