Railway industry

The design of modern rail vehicles requires a high level of passenger comfort, low noise, and economy. The rolling bearings applied in railway transmission systems make this possible. Various ball and roller bearings are used for guiding transmission shafts. As described below, various types of bearings such as deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning roller bearings, and angular contact ball bearings can be used.

The increasing demand for control and monitoring systems in the field of railway transportation requires comprehensive data collection of vehicles during operation. More and more information about wheelset bearings is being used to meet the needs of various vehicle systems. This includes speed signal and direction monitoring, while bearing temperature monitoring is an additional function of thermal operation monitoring.
