Introduction
The objective of this letter is to summarise the nomenclature used by
SKF toward its line of power transmission products, complementing the
information already covered in the "SKF Power transmission products"
catalogue (publication 11015) and its on-line version available on
www.skfptp.com.
In addition, it is worth emphasizing that all SKF power transmission
products are fully interchangeable with products from other common
brands available in the market place.
Please contact your local SKF Authorised Distributor in case of any
further questions related to SKF Power transmission products.
