The SKF PHC chain is a precision roller chain for power transmission. It is used to link shafts and transmit motion between gears, with reliable performance in continuous service. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry it as part of our transmission line, along with pulleys, housings and bearings. If you need to replace a chain or build a new transmission, send us the code and we'll provide a quote.
The PHC designation groups roller chains from the SKF line. The code is completed with a number indicating the pitch and chain type, followed by suffixes that define construction variants. For example, in PHC 81XH-C/L, the segment 81XH identifies the pitch and series, while C/L indicates a specific chain configuration. Knowing these suffixes is key to ordering the correct replacement and avoiding confusion when comparing with other nomenclatures.
These chains are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina: from food and bottling plants to metalworking shops, cement plants and transport systems. They also appear in agricultural machinery, material handling equipment and production lines where positive, synchronized transmission is required. Their roller construction absorbs loads and works at moderate speeds with low maintenance.
To select a PHC chain, take into account the pitch, the number of strands, the required length and the type of lubrication. Installation requires perfectly aligning the sprockets and verifying adequate tension: a chain that is too tight accelerates wear and one that is too loose can jump. Correct lubrication and periodic cleaning extend service life. If the application involves a dirty environment or extreme temperatures, ask us about variants with surface treatment.
SKF roller chains can be interchanged with those from other manufacturers that follow the same pitch and dimensional standard. When replacing, always compare the pitch, inner width and roller type, and verify that the sprockets are compatible. A similar code is not enough: a difference in the suffix can change the strength or the type of joint. If you have doubts, send us a photo of the original chain and the measurements.
At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry the SKF PHC chain as part of our power transmission line. If you need a quote, write to us on WhatsApp with the full code and the quantity of meters or links. We'll reply with the alternatives that best fit your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the suffix C/L mean on the PHC chain?
- The suffix C/L indicates a construction variant within the PHC series. It may refer to the type of joint or a special feature of the rollers. To know exactly what it means on your chain, send us the full code and we'll confirm the configuration.
- How do I know what chain pitch I need?
- The pitch is measured between the centers of two consecutive rollers and must match the pitch of the sprockets. If you don't have the data, measure the pitch and inner width with a caliper, and send us those measurements along with a photo. That way we'll help you identify the correct chain.
- Are SKF chains compatible with sprockets from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the sprockets comply with the same pitch and dimensional standard. Interchangeability depends on the pitch and width, not the brand. Before buying, verify that the sprocket has the same pitch and number of teeth as the original.
