SKF PHS series sprockets with SS suffix are stainless steel sprockets for pitch 25 (1/4" x 1/8") roller chains. They are used in drives where corrosion or hygiene is critical, such as the food, pharmaceutical or beverage industries. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its power transmission offering.

The designation PHS 25-1B9SS reads as follows: PHS identifies the SKF sprocket series for roller chains; 25 is the chain pitch in eighths of an inch (25/8 = 1/4"), also known as pitch 25; 1B indicates single strand (a single row of teeth); the following number, 9, is the number of teeth; and SS indicates that the material is stainless steel. Series examples, such as PHS 25-1B10SS or PHS 25-1B16SS, show how the number of teeth varies while keeping the same pitch and configuration. This nomenclature lets you quickly identify the sprocket you need.

These sprockets are used in low- and medium-power chain drives where corrosion resistance is a requirement. Industries such as food, where equipment is washed frequently, pharmaceutical, which requires clean environments, or beverage, which works with constant humidity, tend to choose stainless steel components. They are also used in packaging machines, conveyors and process equipment in general. In Argentina, MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line to plants that need reliable, long-lasting spare parts.

To select the right sprocket, take into account the number of teeth: the lower the number, the higher the chain speed and the more wear; the higher the number, the smoother the drive but the larger the outside diameter. Check that the pitch matches the chain (25 in this case) and that the bore and keyway are compatible with the shaft. Assembly must ensure precise alignment between sprocket and chain to avoid premature wear. Proper lubrication and correct chain tension extend service life. Sealing does not apply to sprockets, but cleanliness of the environment does.

As for equivalencies, SKF PHS series sprockets can be interchanged with those from other manufacturers that follow the same pitch standard and number of teeth, provided the hub and bore dimensions are compatible. Do not invent codes: if you need to replace a sprocket, compare the actual measurements and the standardized designation. Interchangeability between brands depends on respecting tolerances and tooth profile. Always consult a specialist before replacing a critical component.

If you already have the code for your SKF sprocket, such as PHS 25-1B12SS, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you. We can also advise you if you need help identifying the correct part for your application. With more than 80 years in the market, MR Accesorios Industriales is your partner for power transmission.
