SKF PHC roller chains are power transmission components designed to withstand high loads and moderate speeds. They are used to link parallel shafts through sprockets, ensuring synchronized and efficient transmission. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line backed by more than 80 years in the industry, offering technical advice to select the right chain for the application.
The designation of PHC chains is interpreted as follows: the prefix PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line. Then the pitch number (for example, 04B, 05B, 06B, 08B) indicates the size according to ISO 606, where a higher number corresponds to a larger pitch and greater load capacity. The suffix -1 or -2 indicates whether the chain is single or double strand. The letters NP indicate that the chain has plates without additional surface treatment, and C/L refers to the type of lubrication and finish. For example, PHC 06B-1NP-C/L is a chain with 06B pitch, single strand, with standard plates and factory lubrication.
These chains are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina, such as machine tool drives, conveying equipment, packaging systems, food, textile and agricultural industries. They are common in mills, conveyor belts, mixers and low and medium speed drives. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or moderate temperatures, provided the right lubricant is selected and periodic maintenance is performed.
To correctly select a PHC chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the shaft speed, the transmission ratio and the type of load. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication is key: in normal applications, good quality oil or grease is recommended, while in corrosive or food environments special lubricants may be required. Sealing does not apply to chains, but it is important to protect them from contaminants. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure reliable operation.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF PHC chains comply with ISO 606, which allows replacing chains from other manufacturers that follow the same standard and have identical pitch and configuration (single, double, etc.). However, not all manufacturers use exactly the same materials or treatments, so it is recommended to verify compatibility with existing sprockets. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this brand as part of its offering and can advise you on the best option for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the NP suffix mean in PHC chains?
- NP indicates that the chain has plates without additional surface treatment, that is, standard plates. This is common in applications where extra corrosion resistance is not required.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with an SKF PHC?
- Yes, as long as both comply with ISO 606 and have the same pitch and configuration (single, double, etc.). Also, check the condition of the sprockets and ask us about compatibility.
- What lubrication do you recommend for PHC chains?
- It depends on the application. Under normal conditions, good quality oil or grease. In corrosive or food environments, special lubricants. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and maintain a lubrication routine.
