Extended Rail Life: Lubrication minimizes friction at the wheel flange and rail interface, especially in curves, significantly reducing rail wear and extending rail life. Regular lubrication can make rails last twice as long compared to unlubricated rails.Fuel Consumption Reduction: Lubricated rails improve fuel economy, reducing fuel consumption by up to 31%, and cutting annual fuel costs significantly.
Noise Reduction: Rail lubrication also contributes to reducing noise levels.
Maintenance and Operational Benefits: Lubrication lowers labor costs, extends repair intervals, reduces unplanned downtime, increases equipment reliability, and lowers derailment risks.
Rolling bearings from Schaeffler make an important contribution to increasing traveling comfort and cost-effectiveness and to reducing noise emissions in gearboxes, traction motors, and suspension tubes.
Axlebox bearings from Schaeffler also prove themselves in freight cars, even under demanding environmental conditions, thanks to their long operating life and low maintenance outlay.
The rolling and plain bearings that Schaeffler develops and manufactures for chassis, bogies, and their components ensure reliability, safety, and comfort.
Schaeffler is systematically expanding its mechanical components to create mechatronic modules that offer significant additional benefits in freight and passenger transportation.
Bearings from Schaeffler are also ideal for use in overhead wire tensioning pulleys and points, tilting technology and stabilizing systems, and track gauge adjustment systems thanks to their robustness, reliability, and high cost efficiency. They also ensure safety and a long operating life in bearing supports for door systems and boarding aids, for railcar body and bogie connections, and for braking systems.
Rail applications involve substantial dynamic and static loads, requiring bearings that can handle these stresses. Our high load bearing solutions are designed with advanced materials and innovative engineering to ensure durability and optimal load distribution.
Benefits:
- Increased load capacity
- Enhanced durability
- Reliable performance under heavy loads
Bearings in rail applications are subjected to significant vibration and shock due to the constant movement and track conditions. Our vibration and shock-resistant bearings are designed to absorb these forces, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
Benefits:
- Superior shock absorption
- Reduced wear and tear
- Longer operational life
Rail bearings must perform efficiently across a wide range of temperatures, from freezing winters to scorching summers. Our temperature-resistant bearings use special materials and lubricants that maintain their properties under extreme conditions.
Benefits:
- Reliable performance in diverse temperatures
- Consistent lubrication
- Extended bearing life
To minimize downtime and operational disruptions, our low maintenance bearings are designed for extended service intervals. These bearings use advanced materials and lubrication systems that reduce the need for frequent maintenance.
Benefits:
- Reduced maintenance frequency
- Lower operating costs
- Increased uptime
