SKF Transmission chain

Standards and compliance

SKF Chains are manufactured in state of the art facilities with tight quality controls. All products conform to ISO standards and
other industrial standards like ANSI, BS, DIN and JIS. SKF Oil Field Chains are American Petroleum Institute (API) approved
and each box carries the API monogram. SKF Automotive chains meets the ISO/TS16949 Quality Assurance System technical
specification. This specification aligns American (QS-9000), German (VDA6.1), French (EAQF) and the Italian (AVSQ) automotive
quality system standards within the global automotive industry.

All SKF Chains, with the exception of stainless steel, can accommodate temperatures from –20 to 150 °C. Stainless steel chains
have a temperature range of –20 to 400 °C. For temperatures exceeding above mentioned values, alternative lubricants should be
used. Note: For temperatures above 200 °C and below –20 °C, breaking load values are reduced. Apart from stainless steel chains
also other anti-corrosion treatments and special coatings are readily available upon request.

Raw material
The raw materials used to manufacture each component of
the chain must meet very stringent specifications. As a result,
there are very tight controls over all incoming materials.
These controls range from carefully selecting the steel mills to
regular material audits. Every shipment of raw material
must include a laboratory report certifying the material
composition of the steel. In addition, samples are thoroughly
tested to confirm that the steel meets all specifications.

After stringent inspections, the steel undergoes the pre-

production process, which starts with annealing. Annealing
softens and relieves any stresses in the steel. From there,
the material goes through a multi-stage rolling process to
provide a consistent plate thickness. Other pre-production
steps depend on the type of material and how the material
will be used.

Link plates (Inner and outer plates)

The shape of inner and outer plates on SKF Chains have been adopted to a wider waist link plate design. This provides an increase
in fatigue strength. By subjecting the raw material to a series of cold rolling processes and stringent thickness controls, the plates
achieve uniform thicknesses which are critical to a smooth running chain. The plates endurance and strength is fully optimized via
thru-hardening, shot peening and an aperture ball-burnishing process.

Shot peening improves fatigue strength and crack Furnaces for heat treatment process
resistance
Pins
Pins are made from alloy steel that has been case hardened in rotary furnaces. These furnaces provide an even heat for a
consistent and uniform case depth, which helps to resist damage from shock loads and provide maximum wear resistance.

Rotary furnaces used in the heat treatment process provide a Pins are precision ground to enhance
uniform heat for a more consistent and uniform result wear resistance and increase chain
service life

Bushings
Cold rolling provides a uniform wall thickness which is extremely important in achieving a precise and consistent pitch. Precision
curling units offer a uniform bushing roundness, inside and out, for an optimum bushing-link plate fit. The case hardening process
provides the bushing with a wear-resistant case and a tough, impact resistant core. After heat treatment, the bushings are
precision ground to improve service life.

Conveyor furnace line used for roller and bushing Automated assembly process rejects parts that do
heat treatment, e.g. carbon-nitriding not meet, fit or tolerance specifications

Rollers
SKF Chains use solid rollers that are cold-drawn from bar stock to improve fatigue strength and resist the damaging effects of
shock loads. All rollers go through a hardening process to improve wear resistance and increase service life. To reduce cracking,
the rollers undergo shot peening which significantly improves fatigue strength.

Parts manufacturing lines Microhardness testing equipment, where batch tests

are done, to ensure hardness is within specification

Assembly process
The automated assembly process rejects parts that do not meet, fit or tolerance specifications, giving SKF Chains a precisely
spaced pitch and a near perfect fit. Every part and process is subject to tight quality controls with frequent checks to conform to
tolerances and standards.

The assembled chains are then pre-stressed. This running-in of the chain not only avoids elongation, but it also improves the
chain's fatigue resistance.

The final lubrication process provides SKF Chains the lubricant they need for initial start-up. The lubricant also protects the chain
against corrosion to significantly prolong shelf life.

Connecting links
These links are used to connect two ends of a chain together. Both the spring clip and cotter pin type can be disassembled
and replaced easily. The riveted type provides a very strong link, and has a similar fatigue strength as the other links in
the chain.

Offset links
Offset links are used when an odd number of pitches are required in a chain. These links consist of two cranked plates which
are press fitted onto a bush and roller. The wide end is placed over the last link in the chain and a connecting pin is installed
and secured with a split pin.

American standard chains
American standard chains are covered by ISO 606, ANSI B29.1 and DIN 8188 standards.

The pitch sizes covered by this standard are 1/4 to 3 inch. American standard chains have a smaller pin diameter than the European
standard equivalent. Wear resistance is therefore reduced when compared with the European standard chains. One exception is
the 5/8 inch pitch, as in this case the pin and bushing diameters are larger than the European equivalent.

American standard chains are normally referred to under the ANSI standard numbering system, for example a 1/2 inch pitch
P P
duplex (double strand) chain would be ANSI 40-2.

The ANSI numbering system works as follows: The first number is the pitch size in 1/8 inch, i.e. 4/8 = 1/2 inch pitch. The second

h2
number refers to the chain being a roller chain, i.e. 0 = roller chain. A number 5 replacing the 0 would indicate a bushing chain

T
and number 1 indicates a narrower series. The suffix, as with European standard chain, refers to the number of strands in the
chain, that is in this case 2 = duplex (double strand) chain.

* Bushing chain: d1 indicates external diameter of bushing.

Standard lengths are 10 ft. and 5 m. To complete designation, add chain length. For example, a 10 ft. box of 140-1 is PHC 140-1X10FT.
For links, add “C/L” for “connecting” and “O/L” for “offset” to the designation.
For cottered, add a “C” after the number of strands. For example, 140-1 with a cottered pin is designated PHC 140-1C.
BS European standard chains
Chains manufactured to the BS standards are covered by ISO606, BS228 and DIN 8187.

The pitch sizes covered by this standard are 6 mm (0,236 inch) to 114,3 mm (4,500 inch). They are characterised by a larger pin
diameter than the ANSI chain. This results in better wear resistance due to a larger load bearing area.
P P
The BS chain numbering system works as follows, i.e. 1/2 inch pitch duplex (double strand) chain would be 08B-2. The first two
digits are the pitch size in 1/16 of an inch, therefore 08 = 8/16 or 1/2 inch. The letter B indicates the European standard.

h2
The suffix 2 indicates the number of strands in the chain, in this case a duplex (double strand) chain.

SKF Xtra Corrosion Resistant Chains
Stainless steel chains
Stainless steel chains have superior corrosion resistance for the most demanding applications. SKF offers a variety of such chains
for applications where a high level of cleanliness is required or harsh chemicals are used. SKF stainless steel chains are made
from SS304 grade steel for high corrosion resistance and are available in BS and ANSI standards. SS316 and other stainless steel
grades are available for higher temperature applications. The SS316 stainless steel is somewhat more resistant to the effects of
magnetic permeability, temperature extremes and harsher chemicals.

Application
These chains are suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, high/low temp (–20 to 400 °C) and corrosive environments.
Stainless steel chains can be manufactured to withstand temperatures up to 1000 °C with the addition of special lubricant.

Nickel-plated
Nickel-plated roller chains combine the strength of standard
roller chains with the corrosion resistant properties that come
from the nickel-plating. Nickel-plating of all components
prior to assembly promotes uniform coverage during the
plating process.

Application
Nickel-plated chains are typically used in outdoor applications,
or in mildly corrosive atmospheres.

Nickel-plated chains used in a canning plant

Zinc-plated
Zinc-plated roller chains provide a very good adherence of the
plating to the base metal and combines the strength of standard
roller chains with the corrosion resistance that comes from
zinc-plating. Zinc-plating of all components prior to assembly
promotes uniform coverage during the plating process. Zinc-
plating is more cost-effective than nickel-plating.

Application
Zinc-plated chains are typically used in outdoor applications
and where there is exposure to sea/salt water environments.

Dacrotized chains
Dacrotizing is a process of metal coating. The compositions
are proprietary water based coating dispersions containing
metal oxides, metallic zinc and aluminium flakes. The zinc
and aluminium platelets align themselves in multiple layers
forming a metallic silver gray coating. Overlapping zinc and
aluminium flakes provide an excellent protective barrier and
the zinc corrodes to protect the steel. Due to the concen-
tration of aluminum within the coating, the result is good bi-
metallic corrosion resistance. Damaged areas in the coating
will fill with zinc oxides and carbonates, thus repairing itself.
The dacrotizing process can be applied to numerous types Dacrotized chains used in a fish processing plant
of chains. For additional information, contact SKF.

Attachments
Attachments are normally used to allow a chain to perform a conveying function. The holes in the attachments are used to
join two strands of chain together to allow them to run as a pair. Hooks can also be inserted through the holes to allow the
chain to carry objects. These attachments can also assist control systems by activating magnetic pickup or proximity switches.

SKF Xtra Strength Chains
Using tensile strength as the measure of a quality chain does
not always provide a complete picture. While tensile strength is
important to use in calculating the maximum chain pull, useful
in lifting calculations, this does not always represent the fatigue
life and performance of the chain.

The pattern of the work load is particularly complex in heavy

drive environments where significant shock loads are present.
130 and chain failure.
This can lead to rapid elongation
120
Therefore the SKF Xtra Strength Chain design includes, opti-
110 precision fit of the components
mized hardness of the material,
100 of the parts. This will in turn
as well as an overall size increase
provide a much longer service90 life for the chain in demanding
drive conditions. SKF Xtra Strength Chains used in logging applications

P P
SKF Xtra Strength H Chains slightly differ from standard ANSI chains due to the fact that the thicker link plates correspond to the
next larger size of ANSI roller chains. Therefore, H Series chains can accommodate approximately 10% higher shock loads. The

h2
ultimate tensile strength will be the same as a standard ANSI chain. SKF Xtra Strength H Chains are well suited for applications where
shock loads are higher, operating speeds are lower or there are other severe operating conditions.

*Bushing chain: d1 indicates external diameter of bushing

Standard lengths are 10 ft. and 5 m. To complete designation, add chain length. For example, a 5 m box of 160H-1 is PHC 160H-1X5MTR.
For links, add “C/L” for “connecting” and “O/L” for “offset” to the designation.
For cottered, add a “C” after the number of strands. For example 160H-1 with a cottered pin is designated PHC 160H-1C...
For heavy duty multistrand chain drives, special sprockets are needed due to differences in transverse pitch.

SKF Xtra Performance
SLR Chains
The method of achieving internal lubrication of the chains is
known as sintering and consists of the high quality oil impreg-
nation of the components during their manufacture. The steel
bushings are forged with lubricant within the material struc-
ture of the steel. During this operation, the lubricant forms a
micro thin layer between the pin and internal roller surfaces.

Self-lubricating chains provide excellent service life without

relubrication. In addition, self-lubricating chain pins are
nickel-plated to provide a very smooth running surface that
will not cause the self-lubricating bushings to wear. The SKF Xtra Performance SLR Chains used on food
link plates are black phosphate coated. Self-lubricating chains processing machinery
are interchangeable with standard roller chains.

The use of self-lubricating chains can substantially reduce SKF Xtra Performance SLR Chains
elongation in many applications. This provides an increased vs standard chains
service life of the chain.

SKF Side Bow
Chains
Side bow (curved) chains are able to flex and twist due to extra
clearance between the inner and outer side plates. They are
ideal for use on curved conveyors or to transmit power under
misaligned sprocket conditions. They are produced with barrel
shaped pins and additional pin, bushing and link plate clearances.
These features allow travel in a curved path and/or chain twist.

SKF Double Pitch

Roller Chains
SKF Double Pitch Roller Chains are produced in accordance
with the ASME/ANSI B29.3 (transmission series) and B29.4
(conveyor series) American roller chain standards. In general,
these chains are dimensionally similar to ASME/ANSI standard
products except that the pitch is double. They are available
in the transmission and conveyor series with standard sized
rollers, and additionally with large (oversize) rollers in the
conveyor series. These chains are an economical choice for low
speeds, moderate loads, and long centre distance drive ap-
plications including a variety of conveyor systems and material
handling equipment.

To complete designation, add attachment spacing and type followed by chain length.
For example: PHC 2060-L1K1X10FT (2060 chain with K-1 attachment on every link, 10 ft. (length).
Note: Also available in stainless steel. When ordering, add SS after the chain number. For example: PHC 2060SS-L1K1X10FT.
For links, add “C/L” for “connecting” and “O/L” for “offset” to the designation.

 SKF Silent Chains
SKF Silent Chains (or inverted tooth chains) are manufactured to comply with GB10855 (equivalent to SC Series silent chains
ANSI B29.2M), which are most commonly used for industrial applications. All silent chains are made up of stacked rows of flat,
tooth shaped driving links that mesh with sprockets having compatible tooth spaces, similar to a rack and pinion mesh. Typically,
chains will also contain guide links, whose purpose is to maintain proper tracking of the chain on the sprockets. Washers or
spacers may be present in some chain constructions. All of these components are held together by riveted pins located at each
chain joint end. Pin and rocker joint design minimizes heat and allows for low wear rates during power transmission. These
chains transmit power smoothly, efficiently and economically.

Application 30°
SKF Silent Chains offer unique advantages and options in both power transmission and conveying applications. In power transmis-
sion applications, silent chains are capable of transmitting loads and speeds that exceed the capability of all other chains and belts.
Drives are compact and efficient, operating with little noise or vibration. In conveying applications, silent chains provide a durable,

heat resistant, non-slip, flat, conveying surface that runs with a nearly constant linear velocity.

Standard lengths are 10 ft. To complete designation, add chain length. For example, a 10 ft. box of 40S-6 is PHC 40S-6X10FT.
For links, add “C/L” for “connecting” and “O/L” for “offset” to the designation.
SKF Leaf Chains
SKF Leaf Chains are designed for high load, slow speed tension
linkage applications. Often, they are specified for reciprocat-
ing motion lifting devices such as forklifts or as counterweight
chains for elevators or telescoping equipment, e.g. cranes.
The chains are typically supplied in a specific length and con-
nected to a clevis at each end. The clevis may accommodate
“male” ends (inside links) or “female” ends (outside links), as
required. SKF Leaf Chains are available in series: AL, BL, LL,
FL, 12XX, 15XX, 19XX and 25XX. The AL and BL series are
based on American chain standards, while the LL series is
based on British chain standards. BL series leaf chains are SKF Leaf Chains used for lifting in a forklift mast
made according to the ASME/ANSI B29.8 American standard.
LL series leaf chains are made in accordance with the ISO 606
international standard. A chain with an even number of pitches
has one male and one female end. A chain with an odd number
of pitches have either two male or two female ends.

Application
The applications for these chains include counterweight chain for masts, elevator and oven doors, forklift truck masts,
spinning frames and any other lifting or balancing application.

Reduced maintenance
SKF Power transmission and SKF Maintenance Products
together help you mount, lubricate, align and maintain your
application more efficiently.

Chain drives
By using high quality steel and paying careful attention to the
smallest details in the manufacturing process, SKF Chains
are built for endurance. Specialized chains, such as the
Dacrotized chain, can run longer, even in the most corrosive
environments.

Pinpoint accurate shaft alignment simply achieved

The SKF shaft alignment tools, TKSA series, offer you sim-
plicity with a high degree of accuracy.

Measuring, aligning and documenting.

These highly innovative tools feature a three-step process for
correct alignment. First, measure the machinery´s current
alignment status. Then, align the machine vertically and hori-
zontally. Finally, document and keep track of the alignment
activities.

Features
• Easy-to-use, three-step process: measure-align-doucment
• Compact, lightweight design
• Spirit levels allow easy and fast positioning of the measuring units
• Measurements in millimeters or inches facilitate worldwide us
• Supplied in sturdy, lightweight carrying cases for portability

Extend your chain life with SKF oils

SKF Chain oils come in three convenient sizes to suit the needs
of most chain applications in industrial environments.
The chain oils – medium temperature, high temperature and
food compatible (NSF H1) – are available in 400 ml (13,52
oz.) aerosol cans, 5 liter (1,32 gallon) cans, and as an oil fill for
SYSTEM 24® single point automatic lubricators.
Design Optimization
SKF has a calculation program to help optimize your chain
drive system. Using your data, the program will select the
most efficient and economical solution for your application.
The program can be found at www.skfptp.com, under chain
drives.
