SKF PHG AX…EP timing belts are power transmission elements that combine the flexibility of a belt with the precision of a gear. Their internal teeth mesh with timing pulleys, preventing slippage and maintaining a constant transmission ratio. They are used in applications where synchronization and rotational accuracy are critical, such as machine tools, printing equipment, automation, and internal combustion engines.
The PHG AX…EP designation is interpreted as follows: PHG identifies the SKF timing belt line; AX corresponds to the metric-pitch toothed profile (similar to the T profile, but with its own nomenclature); the following number indicates the pitch length in millimeters (for example, PHG AX20EP has a 20 mm pitch, PHG AX22.5EP has 22.5 mm). The EP suffix denotes a special construction, usually with a rubber compound and high-strength tensile cord. Examples in the series include sizes from PHG AX20EP to PHG AX24.75EP, in increments of 0.5 mm or 0.25 mm depending on the case.
These belts are used in industries such as automotive (engine timing), food (conveyors and feeders), printing (cylinder synchronization), robotics (positioning axes), and machine tools (spindles and feeds). In Argentina, they are common in packaging equipment, industrial printers, screw compressors, and textile machines. Their ability to transmit motion without slipping makes them ideal for applications where angular speed must be maintained exactly between shafts.
To correctly select a PHG AX…EP belt, consider the pulley profile (it must match the pitch), the required pitch length, the belt width, and the operating conditions (temperature, presence of oils or dust). Installation requires precisely aligning the pulleys to avoid irregular wear and noise. Tension must be correct: too low causes tooth jump; too high overloads the bearings. Lubrication does not apply, but keeping the environment clean does. Periodically check for wear and possible loss of tension.
Regarding equivalences, SKF timing belts can be interchanged with other brands as long as the profile, pitch, and length match. There is no universal standardization of codes, so it is essential to verify the critical dimensions. When requesting a quote, provide the complete code (for example, PHG AX22EP) and, if possible, the pulley dimensions and center distance. This way we can ensure the correct belt.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the EP suffix mean in SKF PHG AX…EP belts?
- The EP suffix indicates a special belt construction, usually with a high-strength rubber compound and reinforced tensile cord. This gives it greater durability and load capacity compared to standard belts.
- How do I choose the correct length of a PHG AX…EP belt?
- The length is selected based on the center distance of the pulleys and the number of teeth in mesh. The code includes the pitch length in millimeters (for example, 22 mm). Contact us and we will help you determine the exact size.
- Are SKF PHG AX…EP belts compatible with pulleys from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the profile and pitch match. Timing belts are manufactured under dimensional standards, but always verify the pitch and width. If you have doubts, send us your pulley dimensions and we will advise you.
