Description
SKF PHG VSM-6PK1550 is a timing belt reference, within Power transmission. Request a quote for PHG VSM-6PK1550 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF PHG VSM timing belt is a power transmission component that combines the flexibility of a belt with the precision of a gear, thanks to its toothed profile. It is used to synchronize shafts and transmit motion without slipping in a wide variety of industrial machines. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its power transmission catalog, with more than 80 years of experience in the field.
The designation PHG VSM-#PK… is interpreted as follows: PHG identifies the SKF timing belt family, VSM indicates it is a synchronous drive belt with a trapezoidal profile, and #PK… is the number of grooves or teeth on the belt. For example, in PHG VSM-6PK1550, the number 6 indicates the belt has 6 grooves, and 1550 is the outside length in millimeters. In PHG VSM-6PK1875, the number of grooves is the same but the length is 1875 mm. Knowing these values is key to choosing the correct belt.
These belts are used in industries such as food, textile, wood and metalworking, in machines that require precise synchronization: compressors, pumps, fans, conveyors and packaging equipment. In Argentina, they are common in production lines that need to maintain the drive ratio without slipping, even in dusty or humid environments. Their wear-resistant construction makes them suitable for continuous duty.
To select a PHG VSM timing belt, take into account the number of grooves, the outside length and the pulley profile. Verify that the pulley is compatible with the belt pitch and width. During installation, ensure correct pulley alignment and proper tension: excessive tension accelerates wear on the teeth and bearings, while low tension causes jumping and loss of synchronization. Lubricate the system bearings, not the belt.
Regarding equivalences, SKF PHG VSM timing belts can be interchanged with other brands that use the same profile designation and number of grooves, such as the PK series from other manufacturers. However, not all brands adhere exactly to the same dimensional tolerances. Therefore, when replacing a belt, always compare the complete designation and verify the critical dimensions. If you have doubts, consult us with the original part number.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the SKF timing belt I need?
- Look at the designation marked on the belt: for example, PHG VSM-6PK1550. The first numbers indicate the number of grooves (6) and the final number the outside length in millimeters (1550). With that part number we can quote it.
- Can I replace a belt from another brand with an SKF PHG VSM?
- Yes, if the number of grooves and the length match. Timing belts from different brands are usually interchangeable when they share the profile designation and dimensions. Still, verify the pulley profile to ensure compatibility.
- How often should a timing belt be changed?
- There is no fixed interval: it depends on working conditions, load and maintenance. Periodically inspect for signs of wear, cracks or damaged teeth. If you notice noise or slipping, replace it. Correct tension and alignment extend its service life.
