Application of German SKL bearing in railway industry

Industry application overview
Germany SKL Bearing has rich experience in bearing design of railway drive system. The drive system bearing of SKL bearing is designed to cope with high pollution environment and operate under the conditions of humid environment and changes in speed, temperature, load, vibration and impact. In addition to developing new innovative solutions, we also provide a variety of commonly used bearings and bearing units, as well as drive system reference materials based on our rich field experience, so as to make it easier to select suitable products in the design stage.
Typical customers in the industry
The drive system used for railway trains, such as gear box or traction motor, must have the characteristics of strong power, sustainable, cost-effective and low maintenance requirements. As the maintenance interval is getting longer and longer and the weight of railway vehicles is increasing, these requirements become more and more important.
Deutsche Bahn is a typical customer of SKL bearings in the railway industry. SKL bearings are the drive system bearings provided by Deutsche Bahn AG to achieve sustainable and cost-effective operation with minimal maintenance. Realize stable, sustainable and cost-effective railway operation.
Industry application examples
Deutsche Bahn is the largest railway transport company in Germany, providing railway passenger and freight transport services in Germany and connecting other European countries. In order to adapt to the fierce competition, the company has continuously launched new service items, seasonal discounts, combined ticket purchase, etc., and established a short-haul transportation company to attract the passenger flow on the road to the railway. The rail condition plays an important role in improving the reliability of railway operation. Use remote maintenance solutions to improve reliability on track. Poor track conditions may have a negative impact on key components such as train wheel sets or wheel set bearings, so good maintenance solutions are required. However, it is not easy to inspect, maintain and fix hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of railways.
With the help of IMx-Rail condition monitoring system of SKL bearing, it is easier to detect, locate and repair problems on the track. By solving the problem before it evolves into a fault, it can avoid unnecessary risks, save costs and time, and improve the safety of passengers on the train. The rail side lubrication system is also a useful alternative to maintenance, which does not require human intervention.
