The SKF PHC series roller chain is an essential component for power transmission in industrial machinery. Designed to withstand high loads and moderate speeds, it is used in a wide variety of applications where synchronization and reliability are required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this brand, offering technical advice to select the right model for each need.
The PHC series designation is interpreted as follows: PHC indicates the SKF roller chain line. Then, the number such as 12B or 16B corresponds to the pitch and size according to ISO 606. The suffix -1 indicates single strand chain; -L2 indicates pre-lubrication; WA2 refers to a specific surface treatment; X5 denotes the packaging or presentation; and MTR indicates that the chain is supplied in meters. For example, PHC 12B-1-L2WA2X5MTR is a single strand chain with 12B pitch, lubricated, with treatment and supplied in 5-meter sections, but the pitch and treatment vary depending on the part number.
These chains are used in chain drives in industries such as food, cement, mining, agricultural and material handling. In Argentina, they are common in conveyor belts, elevators, machine tools, bottling equipment and roller drive systems. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity and variable loads, provided the right pitch and strength are selected.
To select correctly, take into account the power to be transmitted, the revolutions, the center distance and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment, proper tension and appropriate lubrication to maximize service life. Sealing and surface treatments, such as the one indicated by WA2, help resist corrosion and wear. Assembly must be carried out with suitable tools and following the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid premature failures.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF PHC chains comply with international standards such as ISO 606, which makes it easy to replace them with chains from other manufacturers that follow the same standard. However, it is important to verify the pitch, the number of strands and the specific suffixes, as they may vary between brands. To ensure full compatibility, always consult a specialist and provide the complete part number of the original chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the MTR suffix mean in the chain designation?
- MTR indicates that the chain is supplied in linear meters, not in assembled sections. This allows it to be cut to the required length and joined with the appropriate connector. It is important to consider that the final length may vary depending on the assembly.
- Are SKF PHC chains interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, as long as they comply with ISO 606 and the pitch, number of strands and type of lubrication match. However, verify the specific suffixes, as they may indicate particular treatments or characteristics that affect compatibility.
- What lubrication do you recommend for these chains?
- Lubrication depends on speed and load. For standard applications, medium-viscosity oil or grease is recommended. In corrosive environments, choose lubricants with EP additives. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to maximize service life.
