The SKF PHC Series S roller chain is a power transmission component designed to withstand high loads and moderate speeds in industrial environments. It is used to link shafts and transmit motion in a synchronized manner, with high efficiency and durability. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with technical advice to select the right chain for the application.
The designation PHC …S-#FT is interpreted as follows: PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line; the number before the S indicates the pitch and series (for example, 36 corresponds to a 3/4" pitch and series 36); the S indicates single strand chain; the number after the hyphen specifies the number of strands (1, 2 or 3); and FT indicates that it is supplied in 10-foot lengths (10FT). The examples PHC 36S-1X10FT, PHC 36S-2X10FT and PHC 36S-3X10FT show chains with one, two and three strands respectively, all with 3/4" pitch and 10-foot length.
These chains are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina: transmission in flour mills, grain conveyors, food industry machinery, mining equipment, pump and compressor drives, and lifting systems. They are also common in the agricultural sector for moving seeders and harvesters, and in aggregate processing plants. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity and variable loads.
To correctly select a PHC Series S chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the sprocket speed, the center distance and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be the one recommended by the manufacturer according to speed and load; in dirty environments, evaluate the use of seals or chains with seals. Installation requires that the sprockets be perfectly aligned and that the chain is not too tight.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, SKF PHC Series S chains follow international dimensional standards, so they can replace other brands that comply with the same standard and pitch. However, it is important to verify the pitch, the number of strands and the tensile strength before replacing a chain. Not all brands maintain exactly the same tolerances, so it is recommended to consult a specialist. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on compatibility with other brands.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the designation PHC 36S-1X10FT mean?
- PHC indicates the SKF chain line; 36 is the pitch and series (3/4"); S indicates single strand chain; 1 indicates one strand; and 10FT means it is supplied in 10-foot lengths. It is a single strand roller chain, 3/4" pitch, 10 feet long.
- What is the difference between a one, two and three strand chain?
- The number of strands determines the power transmission capacity: the more strands, the greater the strength and allowable load. Single strand chains are used in light applications; double or triple strand chains in more demanding transmissions or when greater safety is required.
- How should I lubricate an SKF PHC roller chain?
- Lubrication depends on speed and load. At low speeds, oil can be applied manually; at medium or high speeds, drip or oil bath lubrication is recommended. Consult the manufacturer's data sheet to select the appropriate lubricant and frequency.
