One of the world’s newest metropolitan rail networks is improving the reliability and longevity of its fleet with bearings, lubricants and innovative wireless condition monitoring technology from SKF.

The dangers of combining humans, railways, and electricity are well documented. Live power lines are especially harmful if one approaches them without due diligence.

Rail travel have been an essential mode of transportation for centuries, and the development of train wheels and bearings has played a critical role in their evolution.

With increasing demand for sustainable practices, the rail industry is facing the challenge of lowering its environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency.

In today’s highly competitive mobility world, the railway industry faces increased pressure to deliver improved risk management and greater fleet efficiency.

The reliable performance of railway equipment heavily relies on the durability of its components, particularly the bearings which are responsible for rotational motion, load carrying, shock absorption, etc.

SKF and Televic GSP have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to explore the possibilities to collaborate to increase customers’ rolling stock reliability and reduce maintenance costs by providing the next generation condition monitoring and data analysis.

A new high-performance two-piece polymer cage pushes SKF’s Hybrid deep groove ball bearing into new limits and gives more flexibility in the design choices.

SKF announced its commitment to have a supply chain with net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
