Boost your high-speed performance
Get the maintenance intervals you want with the new SKF wheelset bearings concept.
Choose your own maintenance intervals
New developments make it possible to extend bearing maintenance intervals beyond what was recently thought to be the limit for very high-speed trains. By combining components, design characteristics and material treatment technologies for your bearings, SKF can now adjust performance according to your needs. You get the bearing lifetime you need and no longer need to worry about bearings in your service interval design.
Unmatched failure rates
With this type of development, the risk of bearing failure is also reduced dramatically throughout the entire bearing lifetime. So, apart from fewer planned maintenance stops, this also means fewer unplanned stops. Higher reliability and fewer failures mean that trains can be in service with fewer disruptions, allowing more people to travel uninterrupted.
Bearings that take bearings out of the maintenance interval puzzle
The new SKF wheel-set bearings concept is available with both tapered roller bearing units and with cylindrical roller bearing units. Together with SKF engineers, you pick the features that best help you meet your needs.
