SKF roller chains from the PHC line with C-C/L designation are metric-pitch transmission chains with hollow pin and carbon steel plates. They are used to transmit power between parallel shafts in a wide variety of industrial machines, from conveyors to bottling equipment. Their design allows the mounting of attachments and internal lubrication, making them versatile for demanding applications.

The designation of these chains follows a clear scheme: PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line; the number that follows (50, 60, 80, etc.) indicates the pitch in eighths of an inch (for example, 50 = 5/8", 60 = 3/4", 80 = 1"). The suffix -1C, -2C or -3C indicates whether it is single, double or triple strand. The -C/L designation indicates that the chain comes with hollow pin (C) and lifetime lubrication (L). Thus, PHC 50-1C-C/L is a single-strand chain with 5/8" pitch, hollow pin and permanent lubrication.

These chains are used in power transmissions in industries such as food, cement, paper, mining and material handling. In Argentina, they are common in roller conveyors, bucket elevators, machine tools, packaging equipment and pump and compressor drive systems. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, humidity or variable loads, provided the correct pitch and number of strands are selected.

To choose correctly, take into account the power to be transmitted, the rotation speed, the center distance and the environmental conditions. The hollow pin allows attachments or fasteners to be mounted directly on the chain, which simplifies conveyor design. Lifetime lubrication reduces maintenance, but it is essential to verify sprocket alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. In applications with heavy dirt, evaluate the use of additional seals.

SKF PHC chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow ISO 606 (metric pitch) or the ANSI standard for inch pitches. When replacing, verify that the pitch, number of strands and pin type match. Do not mix chains from different manufacturers in the same transmission, as tolerances may vary. If you need an equivalent, consult us with the original part number and we will advise you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the C/L suffix mean on an SKF PHC chain?
The C indicates that the chain has a hollow pin, useful for mounting attachments. The L means it comes lubricated for life, which reduces maintenance. Together, they identify a chain ready to use in transmissions that require no additional lubrication.
How do I choose between a single, double or triple chain?
The number of strands depends on the power to be transmitted and the available space. The higher the number of strands, the greater the load capacity, but also the greater the width. Consult the selection tables or write to us with your application data.
Are SKF PHC chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
Yes, as long as the sprockets comply with the same pitch standard (ISO 606 or ANSI). Verify the pitch and the number of teeth. To ensure correct operation, it is advisable to replace sprockets and chains at the same time.
