For power transmission between shafts, the SKF V-belt pulley in the PHP series mounts directly on the shaft and works together with a V-belt. It appears in many types of industrial and agricultural machinery. We supply this SKF line and assist you in picking the correct pulley for the job.
Reading the PHP code: PHP stands for the V-belt pulley family; the first digit tells you how many grooves the pulley has; the letter after that digit is the belt profile; and the number following the C is the pitch diameter in millimeters. So PHP 6-C500-M means six grooves, C-profile belt, 500 mm pitch diameter. PHP 8-C360-M means eight grooves and a 360 mm pitch diameter. The M at the end shows the mounting or hub type.
You will find these pulleys in combine harvesters, seeders, conveyors, mills, mixers, fans and compressors, as well as in mining, food processing and water treatment plants. Their construction supports dependable power transmission in tough conditions, and maintenance is relatively straightforward.
When choosing a V-belt pulley, consider the power to transmit, shaft speed, the transmission ratio you need, and the space available. The pulley profile must match the belt profile shown in the part number, and the groove count must suit the required power. At installation, check that the pulleys are aligned to prevent early belt and bearing wear. Lubricating the shaft bearings and setting the correct belt tension are both important for a long service life.
For equivalences, a V-belt pulley can be swapped between brands if the belt profile, groove count, pitch diameter and mounting type all agree. Check the hub and bore dimensions to confirm they fit the existing shaft. If anything is unclear, send us the original pulley part number and we will help you find a match.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the belt profile my pulley needs?
- The belt profile appears in the pulley designation, right after the number of grooves. In the PHP series, that letter tells you the profile. If you are unsure, measure the top width of the belt or contact us with a photo and the measurements.
- Can I replace a pulley from another brand with an SKF one?
- Yes, provided the belt profile, number of grooves, pitch diameter and mounting type are the same. Also check the hub and bore dimensions. Send us the original pulley part number and we will confirm the equivalence.
- What should I take into account when installing a V-belt pulley?
- Correct alignment of the pulleys is essential to avoid uneven belt wear. Also check belt tension and the condition of the shaft bearings. Proper lubrication and careful installation without impacts extend the life of the assembly.
