The SKF PHC series roller chain is an essential component for mechanical power transmission in a wide variety of industrial machines. Its roller and pin design allows precise articulated movement, supporting high loads and considerable speeds. It is used to link toothed shafts and transmit motion synchronously, making it a robust and reliable solution in demanding environments.
The designation of these chains follows a clear scheme: PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line, followed by a number indicating the pitch (for example, 40, 50, 60 or 80). Then, 1 or 2 indicates whether it is single or double strand, and O/L indicates that the chain comes with hollow pins for mounting accessories, although in practice it is also used for other configurations. The suffix AG usually refers to an anti-corrosion surface treatment. Thus, PHC 40-1O/L-AG is a chain with 40 pitch, single strand, with hollow pins and anti-corrosion protection.
These chains are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as food, metallurgy, cement and agriculture. They are common in roller conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging machines, mixers and transmission systems in general. Their ability to work in environments with dust, humidity or moderate temperatures makes them versatile for fixed and mobile equipment.
To correctly select a chain, take into account the appropriate pitch according to the sprockets, the number of strands based on the load to be transmitted and the environmental conditions to choose the sealing or lubrication. Installation requires precise alignment of the sprockets and adequate tension to avoid premature wear. Periodic lubrication is essential to prolong service life, and in corrosive environments it is advisable to opt for versions with anti-corrosion treatment such as the AG suffix.
Regarding equivalences, SKF PHC chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ISO 606 (DIN 8187/8188) standard for pitches and dimensions. This means that a PHC 40-1 chain can replace an equivalent chain from another brand with the same standardized designation. Always verify the pitch, inner width and pin type before replacing, and consult with us if you have any doubts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the O/L suffix mean in an SKF PHC chain?
- O/L indicates that the chain has hollow pins, which allows inserting accessories such as sprockets or guides. It is also used for special assemblies. It is important to verify the application to take advantage of this feature.
- How do I choose between a single and double strand chain?
- The choice depends on the load to be transmitted and the available space. Double strand chains support higher loads and are used when a single one is not enough. Also consider the speed and the type of sprocket.
- Are SKF PHC chains compatible with other brands?
- Yes, as long as they comply with the ISO 606 (DIN 8187/8188) standard. This ensures that the pitch and dimensions are interchangeable. Nevertheless, verify the pitch and inner width before replacing.
