SKF PHS series sprockets and chain wheels are power transmission components that are mounted on shafts to mesh with roller chains. They are used to transmit motion and torque in a wide variety of industrial machines, from conveyors to process equipment. Their design and material are intended to withstand moderate to high loads and speeds typical of chain drives. MR Accesorios Industriales offers this line as part of its power transmission range.

The designation of SKF PHS series sprockets is read from left to right. For example, in PHS 10B-3C76, PHS identifies the family of chain sprockets; 10B indicates the pitch and chain type according to ISO 606 standard (pitch 5/8"); -3 indicates the number of single, double or triple strands; C refers to the hub type or configuration; and 76 is the number of teeth. Thus, PHS 12B-2C68 corresponds to a sprocket for 12B chain (pitch 3/4"), double-strand, with 68 teeth. Suffixes may vary depending on the mounting, but the final number always indicates the teeth.

These sprockets are used in chain drives of industrial machines: belt and roller conveyors, elevators, mixers, mills, food and beverage equipment, and packaging lines. In Argentina they are common in the metallurgical, cement, sugar and processing plant industries. They are also found in the agricultural sector, in implements and harvesting machinery. The PHS series covers a range of pitches and numbers of teeth that allows adjusting the transmission ratio and output speed according to the application.

To correctly select a PHS sprocket, take into account the chain pitch, number of strands, number of teeth and shaft diameter. Verify that the hub and fastening system are compatible with the available mounting. Proper lubrication and alignment between sprocket and chain are key to avoiding premature wear and noise. If the environment has dust or moisture, evaluate specific protections or lubricants. The mounting must ensure that the sprocket is perpendicular to the shaft and without excessive axial play.

As for equivalences, SKF PHS series sprockets follow international dimensional standards for roller chains, so they can be interchanged with other manufacturers that comply with the same specifications for pitch, number of teeth and shaft diameter. It is always advisable to verify the complete code and critical dimensions before replacing a component. Interchangeability between brands depends on compliance with manufacturing standards and tolerances. To ensure compatibility, compare hub dimensions, outside diameter and bore.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the code PHS 10B-3C76 mean?
PHS indicates a chain sprocket; 10B is the pitch and chain type (5/8"); -3 indicates three strands; C refers to the hub type; and 76 is the number of teeth. This code lets you identify the main characteristics of the sprocket.
How do I choose the number of teeth for my application?
The number of teeth defines the transmission ratio and speed. For the same chain speed, a greater number of teeth means lower output speed and higher torque. Consider the available space and the load to be transmitted. If you need help, contact us with your machine data.
Are SKF PHS sprockets compatible with chains from other brands?
Yes, as long as the chain complies with ISO 606 standard for the corresponding pitch. The PHS series follows standard dimensions, so it can mesh with chains from different manufacturers that comply with the same pitch and type. Always verify the pitch and number of strands.
