Maintenance interval extension for railway wheel-set bearings
Depending on railway gauge, wheel diameter and axle load, wheelsets can have different arrangements and designs. As these systems are critical for railway vehicle performance and reliability, careful consideration during the selection of a solution is critical. Listen to this recorded webinar and learn more on how to increase maintenance intervals for wheel-set bearings.
Reduction of maintenance cost has a high focus in the railway industry. For this reason, requests to increase maintenance intervals of wheel sets and wheel-set bearings in operation are common. Significant economic savings can be made from this. Listen to our railway expert Maurizio Martinetti, talking about how to mitigate the risk of allowing of railway wheel-set bearings to remain in operation longer than planned.
