SKF timing belts of the PHG series with VX and EP suffixes are power transmission elements that combine a toothed profile with a reinforced construction. They are used to transmit motion between pulleys while maintaining a constant speed ratio, without slipping. They are suitable for applications where synchronization is required, such as in machine tools, packaging equipment or positioning systems. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its power transmission offering.
The designation of these belts follows a scheme that combines letters and numbers. The prefix PHG identifies the category of SKF timing belts. Then the profile appears, such as 3VX, which defines the pitch and width of the belt. The number that follows, for example 250 in PHG 3VX250EP, indicates the nominal length in tenths of an inch or millimeters depending on the series. The suffix EP indicates a special construction, generally oriented toward greater strength or performance under demanding conditions. Examples such as PHG 3VX265EP or PHG 3VX300EP show the variety of lengths within the same section.
These belts are used in industries such as food, textile, wood or metallurgy, in equipment that needs synchronization: industrial sewing machines, printers, compressors, pumps, fans and conveyor systems. In Argentina, they are common in production plants that require maintaining exact speed between shafts, such as in packaging lines or machine tools. Their toothed profile allows positive engagement with grooved pulleys, which reduces slipping and maintains synchronization even with variable loads.
To select correctly, take into account the pulley profile, the pitch length and the width. Verify that the pulley is compatible with the belt pitch. During mounting, ensure precise alignment between pulleys to avoid irregular wear. Tension must be adequate: too low causes tooth jumping, too high overloads the bearings. Periodically check the condition of the belt and tooth wear. Lubrication does not apply to the belt, but does apply to associated components such as bearings and bushings.
Regarding equivalences, timing belts are identified by their profile and length, so they can be interchanged between brands if these dimensions match. However, each manufacturer may have variations in construction or suffixes. If you need to replace a belt, compare the profile, pitch and length. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you with the appropriate equivalence for your application.
To request a quote, gather the data of the belt you need: profile, length and suffix. If you have the complete code, even better. Send the code via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will respond promptly. You can also inquire about other sizes within the same series.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do the VX and EP suffixes mean in an SKF PHG belt?
- VX indicates the belt profile, which defines the pitch and width. EP indicates a special construction, often with greater tensile strength or better performance under demanding conditions. Always verify the complete designation to ensure compatibility.
- How do I choose the correct length of a timing belt?
- The length is indicated in the number that follows the profile. For example, in PHG 3VX250EP, the 250 corresponds to the nominal length. Measure the center distance between pulleys and consult the manufacturer's table to select the appropriate length.
- Can I replace a timing belt from another brand with an SKF one?
- Yes, as long as the profile, pitch and length match. Timing belts are interchangeable between brands if these dimensions are the same. Consult us with the original code and we will help you find the equivalence.
