The SKF PHG DA-T timing belt is a power transmission component that combines the flexibility of a belt with the precision of a gear. Its metric toothing meshes with timing pulleys, preventing slippage and maintaining synchronization between shafts. It is used in applications where motion accuracy and a constant transmission ratio are critical, such as automation, printing, packaging and textile machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right size.
The PHG DA-T designation reads in parts: PHG identifies the SKF timing belt family, DA indicates the type of toothing (metric profile), and T indicates the metric pitch series. The numbers that follow clarify the dimensions: in PHG DA-T5-815-18, the 5 is the pitch in millimeters, 815 the pitch length in millimeters and 18 the width in millimeters. In PHG DA-T10-1500-16, the pitch is 10 mm, the length 1500 mm and the width 16 mm. This logic allows any size in the line to be identified quickly.
These belts are used in industries that require synchronized and repeatable motion. In Argentina, we see them in packaging machines, industrial printers, cutting and engraving equipment, pick and place robots, and stepper motor drives. Also in the textile, ceramic and food industries, where cleanliness and precision are key. Since they do not need lubrication, they are suitable for environments where oil would be a problem. Their metric profile makes them common in machinery of European origin and in local automation developments.
To select a timing belt, take into account the pitch, the length and the width that your pulley accepts. Check that the toothing profile matches that of the pulley: a T5 does not mesh with a T10 pulley. Pulley alignment is essential to avoid irregular wear and noise. Tension must be the one recommended by the machine manufacturer; a belt that is too tight accelerates bearing wear, and a loose one can jump teeth. It does not require lubrication, but it should be kept clean and protected from oils or aggressive chemicals.
As for equivalents, metric T5 and T10 timing belts are usually interchangeable between brands that comply with ISO 13050 or equivalent standards. However, not all brands keep exactly the same profile or tolerance, so it is important to verify compatibility with the pulley. If you need to replace a belt, the safest data is the complete part number printed on the back. MR Accesorios Industriales can help you identify the correct equivalent: send us a photo or the part number and we will verify it.
To request a quote for your SKF PHG DA-T timing belt, send the complete part number by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. If you do not have it at hand, send us the pitch, length and width measurements, and the number of teeth on the pulley. With that data we advise you so that you receive the right belt. We guide you in selection and mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the part number PHG DA-T5-815-18 mean?
- PHG DA-T5 indicates a timing belt with a 5 mm metric pitch. Then, 815 is the pitch length in millimeters and 18 the width in millimeters. This part number allows you to identify the exact size to order the replacement.
- Does this belt need lubrication?
- No, timing belts are not lubricated. They must be kept clean and dry. Avoid contact with oils, greases or solvents that could degrade the material. Lubrication is only applied to the pulley bearings, not to the belt.
- How do I know if a belt from another brand is compatible?
- Check that the pitch, length and width match, and that the toothing profile is the same. ISO 13050 standards define metric profiles, but there may be minimal differences. Ask us with the part number and we will confirm the equivalent.
