The SKF PHC SLRX FT roller chain is a power transmission component designed to link sprockets and transmit mechanical motion with high efficiency. It is used in a wide variety of industrial applications, from agricultural machinery to transport equipment and manufacturing processes. Its robust construction and roller design allow smooth and reliable operation under demanding conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line of SKF chains, supporting Argentine industry with transmission solutions.
The PHC series designation follows a standardized scheme: the first number indicates the chain pitch in eighths of an inch (for example, 40 equals 1/2", 50 equals 5/8", 60 equals 3/4"). The suffix -1 or -2 indicates whether it is single or double strand. Then, SLRX identifies an SKF manufacturing variant, and FT refers to a specific treatment or finish. Thus, PHC 40-1SLRX10FT is a 1/2" pitch single chain, while PHC 50-2SLRX10FT is 5/8" pitch and double strand. Knowing these codes allows you to select the right chain for your application.
SKF PHC roller chains are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina. They are present in packaging lines, material conveyors, agricultural machines, mining equipment, food plants and transmission systems in general. Their ability to withstand moderate loads and speeds makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or temperature variations. Locally, they are common in the oilseed, meat and metallurgical industries, where transmission reliability is critical to maintaining production.
To select a PHC chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the required length. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Correct lubrication reduces friction and extends service life; use the recommended lubricant according to speed and load. SLRX sealing helps retain lubricant and exclude contaminants, ideal for dirty environments. During mounting, make sure the sprockets are aligned and the chain is not too tight. Careful mounting prevents premature failures.
SKF PHC roller chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow ISO 606 (DIN 8187/8188) for pitches and dimensions. This means you can replace a chain from another brand with an SKF PHC one as long as the pitch, number of strands and type of finish match. However, it is advisable to verify compatibility with existing sprockets, since small differences in tooth profile can affect performance. Always consult the technical specifications to ensure a correct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SLRX suffix mean on an SKF PHC chain?
- SLRX is an SKF internal designation that identifies a manufacturing variant, generally associated with a special surface treatment or sealing. It does not change the pitch or load capacity, but it can influence corrosion resistance or lubricant retention.
- How do I choose between a single and a double strand chain?
- The choice depends on the load to be transmitted and the available space. Double chains (suffix -2) withstand higher loads than single ones of the same pitch, but require double-strand sprockets. Check the power and torque of your application to decide.
- Are SKF PHC chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the sprockets comply with ISO 606 for the corresponding pitch. Interchangeability is guaranteed in terms of critical dimensions, but it is advisable to check the wear of existing sprockets before installing a new chain.
