SKF PHG B…KX… series timing belts are power transmission components that combine the flexibility of a belt with the precision of a gear. They are used to synchronize shafts and transmit motion without slipping, making them ideal for applications where rotational accuracy is critical. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its broad power transmission range.

The PHG B…KX… designation is read as follows: PHG identifies the SKF timing belt family; B indicates the belt pitch (profile B); the number after the B is the number of teeth or pitch length; KX indicates the construction type and material; and the last digit corresponds to the belt width. For example, PHG B72KX6 has pitch B, 72 teeth and 6 width units; PHG B94KX6 varies in tooth count; and PHG B144KX5 combines greater length with width 5. Knowing this nomenclature lets you order the exact replacement.

These belts are used in industries such as food, textile, ceramics, wood and automation, where synchronization between shafts is required. Typical applications include drives for industrial sewing machines, printers, packaging equipment, robotics and positioning systems. In Argentina, they are common in the manufacturing industry and in the maintenance of imported machinery. Their toothed profile allows constant linear speeds and exact transmission ratios, avoiding the slippage typical of flat or V-belts.

To correctly select a timing belt, take into account the pitch, the number of teeth, the width and the pulley profile. Installation requires precisely aligning the pulleys to avoid irregular wear and noise. Tension must be adequate: too low causes tooth jump; too high overloads the bearings. Verify that the pulley has the same pitch and a compatible number of teeth. Lubrication does not apply to the belt, but it does to the shaft bearings. Periodically check the condition of the teeth and for cracks.

Regarding equivalences, SKF timing belts can be interchanged with other brands as long as pitch, number of teeth, width and profile match. Although each manufacturer has its own nomenclature, international standards such as ISO or DIN facilitate substitution. If in doubt, consult your supplier. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you to find the equivalent belt suitable for your machine.
