SKF PHC line roller chains are power transmission components designed to link toothed shafts and transmit motion with high efficiency. They are used in a wide variety of industrial machines, from conveyors to production equipment, where synchronization and reliability are required. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry this line backed by more than 80 years in the field.

The SKF PHC chain designation is interpreted as follows: the prefix PHC identifies SKF's roller chain line. Then the number (for example, 36) indicates the pitch and the chain size according to the corresponding standard. The letter S indicates a single-strand chain, while the digits that follow (1, 2, 3, etc.) indicate the number of strands: 1 for single, 2 for double, 3 for triple, and so on. Finally, O/L means the chain is supplied with holes and pins (or links) for assembly. Thus, PHC 36S-1O/L is a single-strand chain, while PHC 36S-4O/L is four-strand.

These chains are used in industries such as food processing, cement, mining, automotive and materials handling. In Argentina, they are common in clinker conveyors, bucket elevators, mill drives, conveyor belts and agricultural machinery. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, high temperatures and variable loads. They are also used in the paper industry and in aggregate processing plants, where the transmission must be reliable and low-maintenance.

To correctly select a PHC chain, it is essential to consider the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the number of sprocket teeth and the center distance. Assembly requires precise sprocket alignment, proper tension and periodic lubrication. Sealing and the clearance between rollers and plates influence durability; in dirty environments, abundant lubrication and wear checks are recommended. The chain should be replaced when elongation exceeds 1.5% or when the rollers show excessive play.

SKF PHC chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same dimensional standards, such as the ASA or ISO series. When requesting a quote, it is important to verify the pitch, the number of strands and the type of suffix (O/L). Although equivalences exist between manufacturers, not all codes match exactly; that is why it is best to consult a specialist. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you to find the right chain for your specific application.
