Recommended Range - for better economy

This SKF catalogue gives access to a comprehensive range of large
size bearings. As the leading company in the bearing business SKF
also has the largest number of skilled application engineers in the
world. The wide product range and unsurpassed application knowhow guarantee unbiased and individually optimised recommendations on bearing selection, installation and maintenance.
For best overall economy, the final selection of a bearing, in addition to technical aspects, must also take into consideration price,
availability etc. As an extended service a Recommended Range has
therefore been selected from the total SKF product assortment, the
use of which brings the following benefits:
* favourable price
* short delivery time
* long-term supply stability
*world-wide availability
To take advantage of the Recommended Range just contact the
nearest SKF representative before finally selecting a bearing.

Foreword
'I

This catalogue replaces catalogue 3300

"Bearings for heavy engineering applications"; both the technical and product sections have been considerably expanded.
The product range for which detailed
information is given now also includes
- bearings such as split cylindrical and
spherical roller bearings, combined
bearings, indexing rollers, some new
spherical plain bearings and hydrostatic
shoe bearings;
-shaft couplings;
-tools and accessories, such as HYDROCAM bolt tensioners, laser alignment
systems, taper gauges;
-condition monitoring equipment.
Other products which have been part of
the SKF product range for many years but
which have never before been included in
any SKF catalogue are also introduced.
Since the publication in 1989 of the SKF
General Catalogue 4000, the design of
many bearings has been further improved.
The data in this new catalogue represent
SKF development and production in 1992.
Data which are at variance with those
shown in this catalogue are rendered
invalid.
The right is reserved to make changes
dictated by technical developments.
The units used in this catalogue are SI
(Systems Internationals d' Unites) units as
specified in ISO 1000-1981.
