The SKF roller chain of the PHC series is a power transmission component designed to link sprockets and transmit motion between parallel shafts. It is manufactured from high-strength steel and is available in single, double or triple strand configurations, with or without a connecting link. It is a reliable option for industrial machinery that requires precise synchronization and wear resistance in continuous service.
The designation PHC C2040-A1-C/L is interpreted as follows: PHC identifies the SKF roller chain line; C2040 is the size code that defines the pitch and main dimensions; A1 indicates single strand (A2 for double, A3 for triple); and C/L indicates that the chain is supplied with a connecting link for assembly. This nomenclature allows you to quickly select the right configuration according to power and available space.
In Argentine industry, these chains are used in conveyors, elevators, machine tools, packaging equipment and transmission systems in food, textile and metalworking plants. Their robust construction makes them suitable for environments with dust, vibration and variable loads. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for replacement and new projects, with technical advice to choose the correct pitch and number of strands.
To select a chain, take into account the power to be transmitted, the shaft speed, the center distance and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify sprocket alignment, maintain adequate lubrication and check tension periodically. Sealing and roller clearance influence durability; in corrosive or highly contaminated environments, consider additional protections or specific lubricants.
SKF PHC chains are interchangeable with other brands that follow the ANSI or ISO standard for roller chains, as long as the pitch, number of strands and link type match. When replacing, compare the complete code and critical dimensions. Do not invent equivalences: consult MR if you have doubts about compatibility with the existing system.
To request a quote for the chain you need, send the complete code by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. If you do not have it on hand, send us a photo or the main measurements and we will help you identify it. With more than 80 years in the business, at MR we provide technical support so that your machine keeps running without setbacks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the abbreviation C/L mean in the chain designation?
- C/L indicates that the chain is supplied with a connecting link, also called a connector or joining link. It is the part that allows closing the chain loop over the sprockets. If you need an endless chain, it can be requested without this accessory, but it is usual to receive it with a connecting link for assembly.
- How do I know if a PHC chain is compatible with my current sprocket?
- You must verify that the chain pitch matches the sprocket pitch. The code C2040 corresponds to a 1/2 inch pitch. Also take into account the number of strands: if your sprocket is single, the chain must be A1. Consult us with your sprocket code and we will confirm compatibility.
- How often should a roller chain be lubricated?
- The frequency depends on speed, load and environment. Under normal conditions, it is recommended to lubricate every 50 hours of operation or weekly. In dusty or high-temperature environments, increase the frequency. Use the lubricant recommended by the equipment manufacturer and verify that it penetrates the rollers.
