Description

SKF PHC 160-2DR-C/L is a roller chain reference, within Power transmission. Request a quote for PHC 160-2DR-C/L via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

SKF PHC series roller chains with DR-C/L designation are power transmission components designed to withstand high loads and moderate speeds. They are used to link parallel shafts by means of sprockets, ensuring synchronized and efficient transmission. Their robust construction makes them suitable for demanding industrial environments, where reliability and durability are critical. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its broad range in power transmission.

The designation of these chains follows a clear scheme: the prefix PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line. The number that follows, as in PHC 25-1DR-C/L or PHC 40-2DR-C/L, indicates the size according to the ANSI standard, where a higher number corresponds to a greater pitch and load capacity. The suffix -1DR or -2DR indicates whether the chain is single or double-strand, respectively. The letters C/L refer to the end configuration, generally with pin and clip or rivet, which facilitates assembly and disassembly in the field.

These chains find application in a wide variety of industries in Argentina. They are used in packaging lines, bulk material conveyors, agricultural machines, mining equipment and drive systems in food and beverage plants. They are also present in the automotive industry and in metalworking shops. Their versatility allows replacing chains from other manufacturers while maintaining the pitch and number of strands, provided the technical specifications are respected.

To correctly select a DR-C/L chain, it is essential to consider the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the type of load and the environmental conditions. Proper lubrication extends service life: in clean environments oil or grease is recommended, while in the presence of dust or humidity special lubricants should be evaluated. Precise sprocket alignment and correct tension prevent premature wear. Sealing does not apply to open chains, but the use of protective covers in aggressive environments does.

Regarding equivalences, SKF PHC DR-C/L chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ANSI standard, such as series 25, 35, 40 and 41. However, it is crucial to verify the pitch, the number of strands and the type of terminal. Not all manufacturers maintain exactly the same tolerances, so it is recommended to consult a specialist before replacing. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you with the appropriate equivalence according to the original code.

To receive an accurate quote, send the full code of the chain you need, for example PHC 40-2DR-C/L, along with the required quantity. Our technical team will verify and respond promptly. We can also help you identify the correct chain if you only have the pitch measurement or a physical sample. Write to us on WhatsApp and we will gladly assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -1DR and -2DR suffix mean in SKF PHC chains?
The -1DR suffix indicates a single-strand chain, while -2DR corresponds to double-strand. This difference determines the load capacity and the width of the chain, so it is key when replacing or selecting the component.
How do I know which chain number I need for my application?
The number (25, 35, 40, 41) is related to the pitch and strength of the chain. To choose correctly, consider the motor power, speed and type of load. If in doubt, consult us with your equipment data and we will advise you.
Are SKF PHC chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
Yes, as long as the sprockets comply with the ANSI standard corresponding to the chain number. It is important to verify the pitch and the number of strands. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you validate compatibility before purchasing.
