Absolute safety and utmost reliability
Absolute safety and utmost reliability all year round, whatever
the weather conditions, for maintenance-free periods of
close to a million kilometres, are the expectations of SKF
customers when dealing with high-speed trains. Succeeding
and meeting these expectations has required a subtle blend of
breakthrough innovation, combined with experience gathered
over the years in optimizing every detail of the metallic and
non-metallic materials, surfaces topography and lubricants.
High-speed axlebox packages consist of a wheelset unit
incorporated into a housing tailored to the customer
requirements, such as interfaces to the wheelset journal,
suspension system, damper arrangements, earth brush return
and devices and cable and connector interfaces for sensors,
etc. In order to simplify the assembly and maintenance, SKF
developed complete wheelset units. These already have
adjusted clearance and are factory lubricated and sealed.
SKF‘s service can also include logistic solutions as well as
mounting with our own fitters and supervision by our service
engineering team.
