The SKF PHC roller chain is an essential component for power transmission in industrial machinery. Designed to withstand high loads and high speeds, it is used in a wide variety of applications, from conveyors to drive systems. Its robust construction and precision guarantee reliable, long-lasting operation. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry the PHC line, which ranges from single-strand to multiple-strand chains, adapting to the needs of each piece of equipment.
The designation of PHC chains follows a clear system: the first number indicates the pitch (in eighths of an inch), the second the number of strands, and the MTR suffix indicates the surface treatment. For example, PHC 25-1X5MTR is a chain with pitch 2/8" (6.35 mm) and one strand, while PHC 25-2X5MTR has two strands. The MTR suffix indicates that the chain has a special treatment for greater corrosion resistance. Knowing this nomenclature allows you to select the right chain for your application.
These chains are used in industries such as food, cement, automotive and materials handling. In Argentina, they are common in conveyors of bottling plants, bucket elevators, agricultural machines and drive systems in flour mills. Their ability to work in dusty environments and with variable lubrication makes them versatile. In addition, their roller design reduces friction and wear, extending the service life of the system.
To select correctly, consider the load to be transmitted, the operating speed and the environmental conditions. It is crucial to verify sprocket alignment and proper chain tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be the one recommended by the manufacturer, and in corrosive environments, the MTR treatment offers additional protection. Mounting must be done with suitable tools so as not to damage the rollers or the plates. Periodic maintenance ensures optimum performance.
SKF PHC chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ISO 606 standard (DIN 8187/8188). When looking for a replacement, it is important to compare the pitch, the number of strands and the type of roller. Although the dimensions may be equivalent, the quality of the steel and the heat treatment can vary between manufacturers, affecting durability. That is why we recommend choosing recognized brands that guarantee the strength and precision your equipment needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the MTR suffix mean in SKF PHC chains?
- The MTR suffix indicates that the chain has a special surface treatment, generally to improve corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for humid environments or environments with chemical agents. It does not change the dimensions or the load capacity, only the surface protection.
- How do I choose between a single-strand and a two-strand chain?
- The choice depends on the load to be transmitted and the available space. Two- or three-strand chains allow transmitting higher power with the same pitch, but they require wider sprockets. If space is limited, a single-strand chain may be sufficient.
- Are SKF PHC chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the sprockets comply with the ISO 606 standard (DIN 8187/8188) and match in pitch and number of strands. Dimensional interchangeability is guaranteed, although it is recommended to verify the tooth profile to ensure correct meshing and avoid premature wear.
