| Power transmission products play an important role in overall bearing performance. They are the vital link between moving parts in equipment, and industry as a whole spends about twice as much on these products as it does on the actual bearings. By creating its own range of power transmission products, SKF can now offer products that are well matched and give engin-eers a wide design choice according to performance and cost considerations. SKF is likely the first bearing manufacturer to consolidate the sales and supply of power transmission products in this way. The range, to be sold under the group's existing brand, is the result of a thorough analysis of the market and customer
requirements. Bringing power transmission products under a single brand offers significant user benefits apart from the confidence that comes from a well-known brand. SKF can provide a convenient single supply source for products and services with a large stock of products. This, in turn, offers the chance to simplify logistics to end users and reduce administrative work. SKF already has its own sophisticated worldwide warehousing and logistics systems through which power transmission products can be supplied. This currently can provide access to more than 8,000 power transmission items (and in the future even more), which enables distributors to have smaller stocks and less capital invested in inventory.
