SKF PHC line roller chains are power transmission components used to link toothed shafts and transmit motion and force in a wide variety of machines. Their roller and articulated plate design allows smooth and efficient operation, with high tensile and wear resistance. They are used in industrial, agricultural and transport equipment, among others, and are a reliable solution to replace belts or gears at moderate center distances.
The designation of SKF PHC chains is read as follows: the prefix PHC identifies SKF's roller chain line. Then, the two-digit number indicates the chain pitch according to the ANSI standard: the higher the number, the larger the pitch. The letter H indicates that the chain has taller plates (heavy duty), which increases its strength. The number after the H indicates the number of strands: 1 for single, 2 for double, 3 for triple. Finally, C/L indicates that the chain is supplied with a connecting link (connector) included. For example, PHC 60H-2C/L is a chain with pitch 60, tall plates, double strand, with connector.
These chains are used in a wide range of industrial applications in Argentina: from agricultural machine drives (seeders, harvesters) to transport equipment such as elevators, roller conveyors and belts. They are also present in the food, chemical and metallurgical industries and in water treatment plants. Their ability to work in dusty environments or with limited lubrication makes them suitable for construction and mining equipment. In all cases, the correct selection of pitch and number of strands is key to ensuring optimal performance.
To select a PHC chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the center distance and the environmental conditions. Chains with tall plates (H) withstand higher loads than standard ones. The number of strands allows the load to be distributed: the higher the number of strands, the greater the transmission capacity. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment and maintain adequate lubrication to extend service life. In corrosive environments, consider chains with special surface treatments. Assembly must be carried out with the correct tension to avoid premature wear.
SKF PHC chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ANSI standard in terms of pitch and dimensions. When replacing a chain, it is important to verify that the pitch and number of strands match those of the original chain. The condition of the sprockets must also be checked: if they are worn, the new chain will wear quickly. If you need help identifying the equivalent, you can consult us with the original chain code and we will advise you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the H mean in a PHC 60H-1C/L chain?
- The H indicates that the chain has taller plates (heavy duty), which gives it greater tensile strength compared to a standard-plate chain. It is ideal for applications with more demanding loads.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with an SKF PHC one?
- Yes, as long as both follow the ANSI standard and match in pitch and number of strands. We also recommend checking the condition of the sprockets to ensure correct operation.
- What lubrication do you recommend for roller chains?
- It is recommended to use a lubricant specifically for chains, applied regularly. In high-temperature or high-load environments, choose higher-viscosity lubricants. Proper lubrication reduces wear and extends service life.
