SKF taper bushings from the PHF TB STX MM line are power transmission components that allow pulleys, gears or couplings to be fixed to cylindrical shafts through a conical friction fit. They are used in equipment where torque must be transmitted without machining keyways or using set screws. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its power transmission catalog, with more than 80 years of experience in the industry.
The designation of these bushings combines the prefix PHF TB with a four-digit number and the suffix STX followed by the shaft size in millimeters. For example, PHF TB2517STX65MM indicates a bushing for a 65 mm shaft, while PHF TB5040STX140MM corresponds to a 140 mm shaft. The intermediate digits (2517, 4535, 5040) define the construction size of the bushing: the higher the number, the larger the outer diameter and torque capacity. The suffix MM confirms that the dimensions are in the metric system, unlike the inch versions.
These bushings are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as food, chemical, mining and metallurgical. They are common in belt conveyors, mixers, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans and machine tools. Their design allows pulleys or gears to be mounted and dismounted without the need for hydraulic presses, which simplifies plant maintenance. They are also used in equipment where space is limited and firm, concentric fastening is required.
To select the right bushing, take into account the shaft diameter, the torque to be transmitted and the dimensions of the pulley or gear hub. Mounting is done by cleaning the conical surfaces, applying the tightening torque recommended by the manufacturer and checking the alignment between shaft and hub. Lubricating the thread and cone facilitates subsequent disassembly. Maintaining concentricity is essential to avoid vibrations and premature wear of bearings and seals.
Regarding equivalences, SKF taper bushings from the PHF TB STX MM line are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same metric dimension standard. However, each manufacturer may have variations in material or surface treatment. Therefore, when replacing a bushing, always check the shaft and hub dimensions, and consult the compatibility tables. Do not invent codes: if you have doubts, send us the complete code and we will advise you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the STX suffix mean on an SKF PHF TB bushing?
- The STX suffix indicates that the bushing has a specific design with metric dimensions and a screw fastening system. It is part of the SKF nomenclature to identify the series and the type of mounting.
- How do I know what bushing size I need for my shaft?
- You must measure the shaft diameter in millimeters and check the bushing code. For example, if your shaft is 65 mm, the code ends in STX65MM. Also consider the torque and the hub dimensions.
- Are SKF PHF TB STX MM bushings compatible with other brands?
- Yes, in general they are interchangeable with bushings from other brands that follow the same metric standard. But always check the dimensions and consult us with the code to ensure compatibility.
