SKF timing belts of the PHG BX…EP line are power transmission components designed to maintain an exact rotation ratio between pulleys. Their internal toothed profile and reinforced construction allow synchronizing shafts without slipping, which makes them ideal for applications where precision and repeatability are critical. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its broad range in power transmission.
The designation PHG BX…EP is interpreted as follows: PHG identifies the family of high-performance timing belts; BX corresponds to the belt profile and pitch; # indicates the nominal length in inches or the number of teeth, depending on the SKF convention; and EP indicates a special construction, normally with rubber compound and high-strength tensile cords. For example, PHG BX25EP is 25 inches long. Always verify the complete code on the original belt.
These belts are used in industries such as food, textile, paper, plastics and machine tools. In Argentina, they are common in spindle, pump, compressor, fan and packaging equipment drives. Their ability to maintain synchronization makes them suitable for systems with fixed transmission ratios and for applications requiring precise positioning, such as camshafts or intermittent-feed conveyors.
To select the correct belt, take into account the profile and pitch, which must match the pulleys. Length is chosen according to the center distance and the number of meshing teeth. It is essential to verify pulley alignment and proper tension: excessive tension accelerates wear on teeth and bearings, while low tension causes tooth jumping. Lubrication does not apply, but keeping the environment free of contaminants that damage the compound does.
Regarding equivalents, SKF PHG BX…EP timing belts can be interchanged with other brands that use the same profile and pitch, such as Optibelt, Gates or Continental, as long as dimensions and tooth type match. However, each manufacturer may have variations in the compound and cord construction, so it is advisable to consult the technical specifications. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on compatibility without compromising performance.
To request a quote, simply send the complete code of the belt you need by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. If you do not have it at hand, we can help you identify it from the application and the pulleys. MR provides personalized technical support so you find the right timing belt for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the EP suffix mean on SKF PHG BX…EP belts?
- The EP suffix indicates a special high-performance construction, generally with oil-resistant rubber compounds and high-strength tensile cords. This makes them suitable for demanding applications requiring greater durability and fatigue resistance.
- How do I choose the correct length of a timing belt?
- Length is determined by measuring the center distance between pulleys and calculating the required development. You can also count the teeth on the old belt or read the printed code. If in doubt, consult us with your machine data.
- Can I replace an SKF belt with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the profile, pitch and length match. Brands such as Gates, Optibelt or Continental offer equivalents. Verify that the tooth type and width are the same to ensure correct operation.
