SKF Highlights Bearing Technology at InnoTrans
At InnoTrans, SKF showcased tapered roller bearings for enhanced reliability of gearbox applications and cylindrical roller bearing units for increased longevity of freight train wheelsets.
The railway industry has reached a junction in its journey to remain the most secure and sustainable mode of passenger and freight transportation. To maintain its position, rail infrastructure must continually evolve, prioritizing reliability, minimal maintenance and cost-efficiency. Here SKF reveals why engineering innovation, in particular, is crucial for enhancing the performance and durability of rail systems.
Visitors recently had the opportunity to engage with experienced SKF railway experts to discuss challenges such as reducing the risk of unplanned stops, extending service life, and reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
