Railway Industry

EDX

Railway applications demand durability, load strength, and speed. Bearings are used in axle boxes, traction motors, bogies, and gear units — where they must handle shock, vibration, and high-speed operation without failure.

Bearings Used in Railway Industry:

Tapered Roller Bearings (Double Row)

Withstand high axial and radial loads in wheel axle boxes.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Support high-speed rotation in traction motors and drive axles.

Insulated Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Prevent electric current damage in motorized bogies and train drives.

Spherical Roller Bearings

Absorb shock and misalignment in bogie suspension and coupler areas.

Core Challenges in RAILWAY APPLICATIONS

High Axial & Radial Loads at Speed

Axle and motor bearings endure dynamic forces at high velocity.

Shock & Vibration in Tracks and Turns

Rail movement causes constant impact and misalignment forces.

Electrical Currents in Motor Drives

Stray voltage can damage bearing surfaces in electric train systems.

Demand for Long Service Intervals

Rail operators need bearings that last between overhauls with minimal maintenance.

EDX Solutions Built for Performance:

Matched TRBs for Axle Applications

Custom-fitted designs reduce stress and wear under combined loads.

Insulated Bearings for Traction Motors

Prevent fluting and arcing damage in powered drive systems.

Heavy-Duty SRBs with Shock Tolerance

Withstand rail vibrations and bogie misalignment in extreme duty zones.

Sealed CRBs for Motor Applications

Ensure long-life operation at high speeds with reduced maintenance.
