SKF Bearing Axlebox

Description

SKF Axlebox designs

Axleboxes are the linking design element between the rotating wheelset and the quasi-static frame of the bogie or running gear of a railway vehicle. All forces acting between these components are transmitted via springs, dampers and guiding elements. Axleboxes and axlebox bearings/units have always been a vital component in the reliability of railway rolling stock and they have a considerable influence on the operating safety, reliability and economics of railways.
