From reading to a project quote
SKF Mechanical and Electrical Equipment quotes SKF bearings against your BOM, with prototype, production and spare quantities listed separately. Mounting parts can be quoted on the same enquiry, so the assembly is complete.
Product categories
Ball bearings, roller bearings and mounted units sit in one range, so a BOM covering several bearing series can go on one enquiry.
