SKF PHC series B roller chains are power transmission components used to link toothed shafts and transmit motion synchronously. Their robust construction and the option of stainless steel and surface treatments make them suitable for demanding environments. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with technical advice to select the right chain for the application.
The designation of these SKF PHC chains is interpreted as follows: PHC identifies the roller chain line; the number that follows (04B, 05B, 06B, 08B) indicates the size according to the European standard, where a higher number corresponds to a larger pitch and load capacity. The suffix -1, -2 or -3 indicates whether it is single, double or triple. Then, SSX indicates stainless steel, and 5MTR refers to a specific surface treatment. For example, PHC 06B-2SSX5MTR is a double chain with 06B pitch, in stainless steel with MTR treatment.
These chains are used in chain drives for agricultural machinery, packaging equipment, conveyors, mixers and drive systems in industrial plants. In Argentina, they are common in the food industry, where corrosion resistance is key, and in applications requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to humid environments. They are also used in the metallurgical industry and in production lines operating with moderate loads and medium speeds.
To select correctly, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the type of steel. Sealing and lubrication are critical: in corrosive environments, the stainless steel version with MTR treatment offers greater durability. Check sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be compatible with the material and operating conditions. If the chain operates at high temperatures or with shock loads, consult the technical specifications.
Regarding equivalences, SKF PHC series B chains follow the European standard and can be interchanged with other brands that comply with the same standard and designation. It is essential to verify the pitch, the number of strands and the type of steel before replacing a chain. Not all chains with the same designation have the same performance; surface treatment and material may vary between manufacturers. For a safe equivalence, compare the technical data sheets or consult with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SSX suffix mean on these SKF chains?
- SSX indicates that the chain is made of stainless steel, which gives it corrosion resistance. It is ideal for humid environments or those with chemical agents, such as in the food industry.
- How do I choose between a single, double or triple chain?
- The number of strands depends on the load to be transmitted and the available space. Double and triple chains support higher loads, but require compatible sprockets. Consult with us for correct sizing.
- Are SKF PHC series B chains interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, as long as the other brand complies with the same European standard and designation (pitch and number of strands). However, verify the material and treatment, as they can affect performance. We advise you for a safe equivalence.
