The SKF PHC series roller chain is a power transmission component designed to link gears and transmit motion between parallel shafts. It is used in a wide variety of industrial applications, from production machinery to conveying equipment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry this line for the Argentine market, with technical advice so you can choose the right chain for your equipment and working conditions.
The PHC series designation is interpreted from its codes. For example, PHC 60-1-L2K1X5MTR: PHC identifies the roller chain line; the number 60 indicates the pitch and strength according to standard; -1 indicates single strand chain; L2 refers to the type of lubrication or treatment; K1 may indicate an accessory or special configuration; X5 refers to an execution variant; and MTR specifies the presentation, such as length or unit of sale. Each suffix provides information about the configuration, so it is important to verify the full part number at the time of inquiry.
SKF PHC series roller chains are used in industries such as food, cement, mining and manufacturing in general. In Argentina, they are common in conveyors, elevators, machine tools, packaging equipment and transmission systems in production plants. Their robust construction allows them to withstand the loads and speeds typical of continuous operation, adapting to environments with dust, humidity or moderate temperatures when the right lubrication and sealing are selected.
To correctly select a chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the required length and the type of lubrication. Installation requires aligning the sprockets and checking the initial tension; poor alignment accelerates wear. Lubrication must be the one indicated for the working speed and temperature, and in contaminated environments it is advisable to evaluate chains with seals or retainers. Cleaning and periodic maintenance extend the service life of the assembly.
As for equivalences and interchangeability, roller chains are manufactured under standards that define dimensions and strengths, which allows replacing a chain from one brand with another if the pitch, the number of strands and the standard match. However, each manufacturer may offer different treatments and materials, so it is advisable to verify compatibility with the existing sprockets. SKF is an official brand that MR carries, and we can guide you on the most convenient option for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the pitch and type of a PHC chain?
- The part number includes a number that indicates the pitch according to standard and a digit that indicates whether it is single, double or triple strand. For example, in
PHC 60-1-L2K1X5MTR, 60 is the pitch and 1 indicates single strand chain. Verify the full part number to ensure compatibility. - What lubrication does a roller chain need?
- Lubrication depends on speed, load and temperature. For standard applications, oil or grease of adequate viscosity is used. In environments with dust or humidity, it is advisable to evaluate adhesive lubricants or chains with retainers. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations to maximize service life.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with an SKF PHC one?
- Yes, if the pitch, the number of strands and the standard match. Roller chains are manufactured under dimensional standards, which makes interchangeability easier. Still, check the condition of the sprockets and ask us about the exact part number to avoid issues.
