Railway Industry

In the field of railway transportation, motor car is used to provide power. A motor car can be a traction unit of a locomotive or EMU.

Autorail Grande capacit é (AGC) manufactured 500 new AGC fast trains for SNCF in 2007 for bog wheel sets and drive bearings in AGC. According to the requirements of French national railway, AGC meets the needs of French region due to its wide range of models.

That is to say, it can only be provided for AGC internal combustion or electric drive, or it can be a combination of internal power. The capacity can also be changed by coupling two or four carriages.

Due to the modular design (i.e. using the same parts), although there are many models, the maintenance and service are very simple. AGC provides more flexibility for drivers, shorter stops and more space and comfort for passengers.

Fag provides all AGC models with ready to install tapered roller bearings and axle boxes.

The design of modern rail vehicles requires a high level of passenger comfort, low noise and economy. The rolling bearing developed by the industrial department of Schaeffler Group, which is used in railway transmission system, makes this possible. Various ball and roller bearings are used in the guide of the drive shaft. As described below, various types of bearings such as deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning roller bearings and angular contact ball bearings can be used.

The increasing demand for control and monitoring systems in the field of railway transportation requires comprehensive data collection during the operation of vehicles. More and more wheel bearing information is used in various vehicle systems. It includes speed signal and direction monitoring, and bearing temperature monitoring is an additional function of thermal operation monitoring.

The industrial department of Schaeffler Group has developed wheel set bearings with integrated sensors (ready to install modules with integrated sensors), which have been optimized to meet the requirements of railway transportation.

The sensor reliably transmits the speed information to the wheel sliding and braking system, speed indicator, door closing mechanism and rolling identification system. Continuous temperature identified by early thermal operation
