The SKF PHC Series B roller chain is an essential component for power transmission in industrial machinery. Its roller and pin design guarantees durable and efficient performance across a wide range of applications. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry this official brand, offering technical advice so you can choose the right chain for your needs.
The PHC series designation follows a standardized system: the number indicates the pitch and load capacity, the letter B corresponds to the European series, and the suffixes -1, -2 or -3 indicate whether it is single, double or triple strand. The O/L ending indicates that the chain comes with hollow pins and outer plates, which makes assembly and disassembly easier. For example, PHC 08B-1O/L is a single-strand chain with 08B pitch and hollow bushings, ideal for drives where frequent adjustment is required.
These chains are used across a wide range of industries in Argentina, such as food, metallurgy, cement and agriculture. They are common in conveyors, elevators, bottling machines, packaging equipment and power transmission systems in general. Their robust construction makes them suitable for demanding environments with dust, humidity or moderate temperatures, provided the right lubricant is selected.
To correctly select a PHC chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the speed, the center distance and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment and maintain proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication must be the one recommended by the manufacturer according to speed and load. In corrosive environments, consider versions with special coatings or stainless steel. Assembly with hollow pins makes it easier to adjust and replace links.
SKF PHC Series B chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same European standard, such as the 08B, 10B, etc. series. When replacing a chain, verify that the pitch and number of strands match, and that the sprockets are compatible. Do not mix chains from different manufacturers in the same drive, since tolerances may vary. If you need help identifying the equivalent, contact us with the part number of the original chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the O/L suffix mean on a PHC chain?
- O/L indicates that the chain has hollow pins and outer plates, which allows for simpler assembly and disassembly without the need for special tools. It is useful in applications where the length needs to be adjusted frequently.
- How do I choose between a single, double or triple strand chain?
- The number of strands depends on the power to be transmitted and the available space. Single-strand chains are for moderate loads; double and triple strand chains allow more power to be transmitted at the same pitch, but require wider sprockets.
- What lubrication do you recommend for roller chains?
- An oil or grease of suitable viscosity is recommended according to the operating speed and temperature. For high speeds, light oil; for low speeds and high loads, consistent grease. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
