SKF roller chains from the PHC line with SSX and FT suffixes are power transmission components that combine stainless steel and an anti-corrosion surface treatment. They are used in applications where humidity, frequent washdowns or corrosive environments shorten the life of a conventional chain. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its transmission offering.
The PHC designation identifies the SKF roller chain category. The number that follows corresponds to the size and defines the pitch and dimensions of the chain. The hyphen and the digit indicate the number of strands: -1 for single and -2 for double. The suffixes SSX and FT indicate the material and treatment: SSX refers to stainless steel and FT to an anti-corrosion finish. Thus, PHC 40-1SSX10FT is a single-strand chain, size 40, stainless steel and with FT treatment.
These chains are chosen in industries where washing or exposure to humidity is constant: food and beverage plants, industrial washdown areas, wash tunnels, chemical processing equipment and conveyor systems operating outdoors. They also appear in the pharmaceutical industry and in water treatment plants, where corrosion shortens the service life of standard chains. In Argentina, these sectors usually require components that withstand daily cleaning without rusting.
To select the correct chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the corrosion resistance required by the environment. The SSX suffix provides oxidation resistance, but it does not replace proper lubrication: in wet applications, use lubricants compatible with stainless steel. Check sprocket alignment and chain tension; poor alignment accelerates wear even if the material is stainless steel. Assembly must follow the manufacturer's instructions for each series.
SKF PHC chains can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same dimensional standards, as long as the pitch, number of strands and roller type match. Not all stainless chains are equivalent: the FT treatment and the quality of the steel influence performance. If you need to replace an existing chain, compare the complete designation and consult a specialist before substituting it with a conventional one.
If you already have the code of the chain you use, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote the corresponding SKF PHC option. We can also advise you if you need to define the pitch or the number of strands for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do the SSX and FT suffixes mean on an SKF PHC chain?
- SSX indicates that the chain is made of stainless steel, resistant to corrosion. FT refers to an additional anti-corrosion surface treatment. Together, they make the chain suitable for humid environments or frequent washdowns, where a standard chain would rust quickly.
- Can I replace a PHC SSX FT chain with a conventional chain?
- It is not recommended if the environment is corrosive. The conventional chain will rust sooner and may fail. If the environment is dry and controlled, a standard chain with the same pitch and number of strands could work, but always verify the operating conditions.
- How do I choose the number of strands for my application?
- The number of strands depends on the load and the available space. Single-strand chains (-1) are used in low or medium power transmissions; double-strand chains (-2) allow transmitting more power with the same pitch. Consult transmission calculations or request technical advice.
