Foreword

Power transmission products play an important role in overall
bearing performance and are the vital link between moving parts in
equipment. By creating its own range of power transmission
products, SKF can offer products that are well-matched and give
engineers a wide design choice according to performance and cost
considerations.
Bringing power transmission products under a single brand offers
significant user benefits apart from the confidence that comes from
using a well-known brand. SKF can provide a convenient single
supply source for products and services with a large number of
items in stock. This, in turn, offers the chance to simplify logistics to
end users and reduce administrative work.
As bearings and other power transmission components work
together in products used in many industries, many bearing
problems and failures can be identified through the knowledge of
power transmission. Examples of those industries are food and
beverage, oil and gas, pulp and paper, textile, metalworking,
packaging, mining, mineral processing and cement, agriculture and
material handling. Combining an understanding of bearing systems
with power transmission gives SKF the opportunity to enhance the
support available to users.
All SKF Power Transmission products are identified by an SKF
specific designation prefix. Apart from that, the designation follows
international standards for easy recognition and cross-referencing.
The SKF Power Transmission range covers most common types of
products, which can be divided into six main categories - belts,
pulleys, chains, sprockets, couplings as well as bushings and hubs.
