For chain drive systems, SKF PHS series sprockets are steel components that mount on shafts and engage with chains of the pitch specified in the code. They transmit motion and force between parallel shafts in industrial machinery. The part number incorporates pitch, strand count, and tooth count, letting you pick the exact sprocket for each drive ratio.

A PHS sprocket code breaks down as follows: PHS denotes the SKF sprocket line; the next segment gives the chain pitch per the applicable standard; the following digit is the number of strands; the letter indicates the hub or mounting style; and the last number is the tooth count. In series examples like PHS 05B-1A12 or PHS 05B-1A25, only the tooth count varies. That count sets both the drive ratio and the pitch line velocity: with the same pitch, a higher tooth count yields a larger pitch diameter and lower rotational speed for a given chain speed.

Because they are steel, these sprockets handle moderate loads and medium speeds. Pair them with chains of the matching pitch to build simple speed reducers or increasers.

When choosing a sprocket, begin with the chain you plan to use: the pitch must match the sprocket code. Then determine the tooth count from the required ratio and the space available. Verify that the outside diameter will not interfere with other components and that the hub bore fits your shaft. During installation, pay attention to alignment between sprocket and chain, proper tension, and lubrication. A misaligned or dry chain will accelerate tooth wear.

SKF PHS series sprockets can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same pitch standard and tooth count. The critical factors are the pitch in the code, the number of strands, and the pitch diameter. For replacing an existing sprocket, compare the tooth count and hub type.
