The SKF PHC series roller chain is an essential component for power transmission in industrial machinery. Its roller and pin design ensures smooth and efficient movement, withstanding high loads and moderate speeds. It is used in a wide variety of applications, from conveyors to machine tools, where synchronization and reliability are required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this brand, offering technical advice to select the right chain for each need.
The designation PHC …B-…DRX…MTR is interpreted as follows: PHC identifies the SKF roller chain series. The number before the B indicates the pitch according to European standard (for example, 04B, 05B, 06B, 08B). The suffix -1 or -2 indicates whether it is single or double strand. DRX refers to the roller type and MTR to the material or surface treatment. Examples such as PHC 04B-1DRX5MTR or PHC 08B-2DRX5MTR show typical combinations: the higher the number, the greater the pitch and load capacity.
These chains are used in industries such as food, automotive, cement and mining. In Argentina, they are common in material conveyors, bottling machines, packaging equipment and transmission systems in manufacturing plants. Their robustness makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or moderate temperatures, provided the appropriate lubricant and sealing are selected. They are also used in the agricultural industry, in harvesters and elevators.
To select correctly, consider the power to be transmitted, the speed, the number of sprocket teeth and the center distance. It is crucial to verify shaft alignment and chain tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be as indicated by the manufacturer for the application; in dirty environments, choose chains with seals or retainers. Installation requires appropriate tools and verification of axial and radial play.
SKF PHC series chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same pitch standard (ISO 606). When replacing, verify that the pitch, number of strands and roller type match. Equivalence between brands is based on standardized dimensions, but there may be differences in materials and treatments that affect durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the designation PHC 08B-1DRX5MTR mean?
- PHC is the SKF series; 08B indicates pitch according to European standard; -1 means single strand; DRX refers to the roller type and MTR to the material or treatment. The complete code identifies specific dimensions and characteristics.
- How do I choose between a single and a double chain?
- The choice depends on the load to be transmitted. Double chains withstand higher loads and are used when a single one is not enough. Also consider the available space and operating speed.
- What lubrication do you recommend for these chains?
- Proper lubrication depends on speed, load and environment. In general, high-quality oil or grease is recommended. For dirty environments, use adhesive lubricants. Consult the manufacturer's manual or ask us for advice.
