SKF pulleys for belts: PHP series and codes

SKF pulleys carry the PHP prefix and cover two different drives: grooved pulleys, for V-belts, and toothed pulleys, for timing belts. The code says how many grooves or teeth it has, which belt profile it is for and how it is fixed to the shaft. Belts have their own pages; here the pulleys are identified.

Grooves, profile and diameter

In PHP 1SPA63TB, the 1 is the number of grooves, SPA is the belt profile and 63 is the pulley diameter in millimetres. PHP 3SPC150TB has three grooves of SPC profile. In PHP 1-B34TB and PHP 1-3V265TB the order is the same, but those profiles express the diameter in the scale of their standard, which is not millimetric.

The final letters indicate the mounting. TB is a pulley for a taper bushing: the bushing is ordered separately and is what defines the bore. In toothed pulleys, such as PHP 20-8M-30TB, the first number is the number of teeth, 8M is the pitch and 30 is the belt width it is made for.

The pulley and what surrounds it

A pulley is replaced because the grooves are worn or because the drive ratio changes. In the first case, the reference stays the same. In the second, changing the diameter alters the machine speed, the belt length and the load on the bearings; it is worth reviewing both pulleys and the centre distance before deciding.

Also check that the pulley profile and the belt profile are the same. A belt of similar section may enter the groove and seat badly. In toothed pulleys, pitch and tooth profile must match those of the belt exactly. The taper bushing is chosen by the size the pulley calls for and by the shaft diameter.

To quote a pulley

Send us the complete PHP code and the quantity. If you do not have it, state the belt profile, the number of grooves, the outside diameter, the overall width and the shaft diameter with its keyway. For a toothed pulley, the number of teeth, the pitch and the belt width. Tell us whether the current mounting uses a taper bushing, a grub screw or a bore to size, and whether you need the bushing as well.

Does the TB pulley include the bushing?

No. The taper bushing has its own code and is chosen according to the shaft.

Can I use a belt of another profile on the same pulley?

It is not advisable. The groove is made for one profile; another section seats badly.

Is the number always the diameter in millimetres?

For SPZ, SPA, SPB and SPC profiles, yes. For others it is expressed in the scale of their standard.
