Timing<\/strong> SKF makes it easy to do a complete timing system job, offering more than 500 timing belt kits with 97 per cent coverage of the car parc in Europe. SKF timing belt and water pump kits make doing a complete repair easy. The kits contain the belt, tensioners, and water pump \u2014 all the right parts, all in one box, all of them meeting or exceeding OE specifications.<\/p>\n SKF Wheel End Range<\/strong> The brand\u2019s continued commitment to innovation is evident in its comprehensive Wheel End Range. Greased and sealed for life, the SKF first-generation wheel bearing cuts installation time and virtually eliminates problems caused by improper seal handling and bearing clearances. The second-generation wheel bearing replaces the function of a separate bearing unit by combining a double-row ball bearing unit and an integral mounting flange.<\/p>\n Finally, the third-generation wheel bearing features two flanges \u2013 one for installing to the wheel and brake rotor assembly, one for fixing to the suspension \u2013 the third generation wheel bearing provides a significant simplification in corner design.<\/p>\n Delivering car-like handling, comfort, and safety to light-duty trucks, SKF\u2019s X-Tracker – a patented hub unit solution – increases bearing capacity and improves hub stiffness by 50 per cent compared to traditional tapered roller bearing units, without increasing bearing width.<\/p>\n Driveshafts<\/strong> Steering and Suspension<\/strong> Product selection is now faster and smarter. As always, the latest make and model design is used to match kits, which reduces the amount of possible part number choices per vehicle. Extensive cross listing lets customers match parts more quickly to OE numbers, own product coding or other suppliers\u2019 data.<\/p>\n All the parts that are needed for a complete repair are included in the kits and each part is clearly marked which means less confusion after unboxing \u2013 for example, when installing a part on the left or right hand side of the vehicle. Phone and email helplines are also available to make part selection and repair procedures even easier.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been a partner of SKF for many years and we\u2019re proud to distribute an extensive range of SKF products that offer unmatched quality and market coverage,” said Gillian Fanning of Serfac. \u201cSKF bearings, timing belts and timing belt kits in particular have always proved very popular with our customers and the regular and timely updates to the brand\u2019s range means that motor factors can nearly always find the exact part they\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n For further SKF range information and details of current offers, contact the Serfac sales team on 01-459 8700.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well-known global aftermarket supplier SKF continues to lead the way in new product development with the on-going release of in-demand new products<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3164,"featured_media":26508,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nSKF\u2019s premium OE quality timing belt construction provides durability, performance and reliability in the high-temperature engine compartments of today’s vehicles with belt-driven engines.
