The PHC chain from SKF is a precision roller chain for power transmission. It is used to link shafts and transmit motion between sprockets, with reliable performance in continuous service. Its metric pitch design and steel plates make it suitable for equipment requiring synchronism and drive. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry it as part of our transmission line, with advice to choose the right chain for your application.
The designation PHC 08B-1HPSS-C/L is read in parts. PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line. The number 08B corresponds to the pitch and series according to European standard: 08B is a half-inch pitch, with standardized roller diameter. The 1 indicates single strand; if it were 2, it would be double. The suffix HPSS indicates carbon steel plates with surface treatment for greater corrosion resistance. C/L refers to factory lubrication: it comes lubricated and ready to install. This nomenclature lets you order the exact part number without ambiguity.
PHC roller chains are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina. They are found in conveyors in food plants, bottling plants, packaging lines and textile machines. Also in material handling equipment, bucket elevators and low and medium speed drives. In agriculture, they are found in harvesters and processing machines. Their steel construction and factory lubrication make them suitable for environments with dust or moderate humidity, as long as periodic maintenance is respected.
To select a PHC chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the shaft speed and the number of teeth on the sprockets. The 08B series handles moderate loads; if you need more capacity, a double strand or larger pitch chain can be evaluated. During installation, check sprocket alignment: misalignment accelerates wear. Lubrication is key: although it comes lubricated, replenish oil or grease according to the duty cycle. Check tension periodically; a chain that is too tight stresses the bearings and one that is too loose jumps the teeth.
Regarding equivalences, chains with 08B pitch according to European standard can be interchanged with other brands that comply with the same standard and number of strands. Not all brands use the same nomenclature: some use codes with different letters or numbers. Therefore, when ordering a replacement chain, the safest approach is to provide the complete part number and the pitch and inner width measurements. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you if you bring us the sample or the data of the original chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the HPSS suffix mean on the PHC chain?
- HPSS indicates that the plates and pins have a surface treatment that improves corrosion resistance. It is useful in humid environments or where oxidizing agents are present. It does not replace a stainless steel chain, but it extends service life under moderate conditions.
- Can I replace an 08B chain with one from another brand?
- Yes, as long as the other brand complies with the European standard for 08B pitch and the same number of strands. Check the pitch, inner width and roller diameter. If you have doubts, send us the measurements and we will advise you.
- How often should I lubricate the PHC chain?
- It depends on the working conditions. In clean environments and at moderate speeds, lubrication every 100 hours may be sufficient. In the presence of dust or high temperatures, shorten the intervals. Check the lubrication condition at every maintenance stop.
