For roller chain drives that operate in wet, corrosive or frequently washed areas, SKF offers the PHS …A…SS series of stainless steel sprockets. These parts are built to keep motion transmission reliable where carbon steel would not last. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission range for plants in the United States and Latin America.

The part number itself tells you most of what you need. PHS is the SKF family for roller chain sprockets. The number after the hyphen is the chain pitch, such as 35 or 40. Then comes 1A, which means a single-strand sprocket with one row of teeth. The next figure is the tooth count. Finally, SS confirms the material is stainless steel. So a PHS 40-1A30SS is a single-strand, pitch 40, 30-tooth sprocket in stainless steel. Other sizes in the series include PHS 35-1A40SS, PHS 40-1A26SS and PHS 40-1A40SS.

You will find these sprockets in food and beverage plants, pharmaceutical operations, chemical processing and water treatment. They also suit packaging lines, conveyors, mixers and equipment installed outdoors or cleaned often. Anywhere moisture or chemical agents are present, a stainless sprocket avoids the rapid deterioration you would see with carbon steel.

When selecting a sprocket, check the chain pitch, the number of teeth and the shaft diameter. Make sure the bore and keyway fit the shaft, and that the stainless grade is right for the environment. During installation, align the sprocket and chain carefully to prevent uneven wear. Lubricate according to the load and speed, and check chain tension regularly. If washdowns are frequent, use a lubricant suitable for incidental food contact.

SKF PHS …A…SS sprockets can replace other brands that use the same pitch and tooth count, as long as the bore and hub dimensions match. Keep in mind that not every manufacturer offers a stainless version, so confirm the material and tolerances before substituting. Interchangeability depends on pitch, tooth count and chain type. When in doubt, compare drawings or ask a specialist.
