The SKF PHC series roller chain is a power transmission component designed to link sprockets and transmit motion with high efficiency. It is used in a wide variety of industrial applications, from production machinery to conveying equipment. Its robust construction and dimensional precision allow reliable operation in demanding environments. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this series as part of its power transmission line, with more than 80 years of experience in the Argentine market.
The PHC series designation is interpreted from its components. For example, the code PHC 16B-1-A1-C/L indicates a roller chain with 16B pitch, single strand (1), with an A1 attachment type and C/L configuration. The number before the letter B defines the pitch size according to the standard, while the digit after the hyphen indicates whether it is single, double or triple strand. The suffixes A1 and C/L correspond to mounting and finish options. Knowing this nomenclature is key to selecting the correct chain.
SKF PHC series roller chains are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, automotive and material handling. In Argentina, they are common in conveyors, elevators, packaging machines and transmission equipment in manufacturing plants. Their ability to withstand loads and moderate speeds makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or varying temperatures. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to meet maintenance requirements and new projects.
To select a PHC chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the attachment type and the required length. Verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication is essential: use the recommended lubricant according to speed and load. Periodically check elongation and roller wear. Correct assembly and a preventive maintenance plan extend the service life of the transmission.
SKF PHC series roller chains can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same dimensional standards, such as ANSI or European chains. When looking for a replacement, compare the pitch, the number of strands and the roller dimensions. Not all qualities are equivalent: verify fatigue strength and heat treatment. If you have doubts, consult us with the original part number and we'll help you find the right equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the pitch of a PHC chain?
- The pitch is indicated by the number preceding the letter B in the code, such as 16B. That number corresponds to a standardized measurement. To confirm, you can measure the distance between the centers of two consecutive rollers and compare it with the standard pitch table.
- What does the C/L suffix in the designation mean?
- The C/L suffix indicates a specific chain configuration, generally related to the type of joint or end finish. To interpret it correctly, it is necessary to consult the PHC series data sheet or contact us with the full part number.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with an SKF PHC?
- Yes, as long as the pitch, the number of strands and the standardized dimensions match. Roller chains under equivalent standards are interchangeable. We recommend verifying the manufacturer's quality and treatment to ensure similar performance.
