SKF roller chains from the PHC line with SSX and FT suffixes are power transmission components that combine stainless steel and an anti-corrosion surface treatment. They are used in applications where humidity, frequent washdowns or corrosive environments shorten the life of a conventional chain. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its transmission offering.

The PHC designation identifies the SKF roller chain category. The number that follows —25, 35, 40 or 41— corresponds to the size and defines the pitch and dimensions of the chain. The hyphen and the digit indicate the number of strands: -1 for single and -2 for double. The SSX and FT suffixes indicate the material and the treatment: SSX refers to stainless steel and FT to an anti-corrosion finish. Thus, PHC 40-1SSX10FT is a single-strand chain, size 40, stainless steel and with FT treatment.

These chains are chosen in industries where washdown or exposure to humidity is constant: food and beverage plants, industrial washdown areas, wash tunnels, chemical processing equipment and conveyor systems operating outdoors. They also appear in the pharmaceutical industry and in water treatment plants, where corrosion shortens the service life of standard chains. In Argentina, these sectors usually require components that withstand daily cleaning without rusting.

To select the right chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands and the corrosion resistance required by the environment. The SSX suffix provides oxidation resistance, but it does not replace proper lubrication: in wet applications, lubricants compatible with stainless steel should be used. Check sprocket alignment and chain tension; poor alignment accelerates wear even if the material is stainless steel. Assembly must follow the manufacturer's instructions for each series.

SKF PHC chains can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same dimensional standards, provided the pitch, number of strands and roller type match. Not all stainless chains are equivalent: the FT treatment and the quality of the steel influence performance. If you need to replace an existing chain, compare the full designation and consult a specialist before substituting it with a conventional one.

If you already have the part number of the chain you use, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote the corresponding SKF PHC option. We can also advise you if you need to determine the pitch or the number of strands for your equipment.
