Railway Industry
n the field of railway transportation, electric vehicles are used to provide power. An EMU can be a traction unit of a locomotive or EMU.
Autorail Grande Capacit_ (AGC) FAG wheelsets and transmission bearings in AGC in 2007 Bombardier Transportation manufactured 500 AGC fast trains for SNCF. According to the requirements of the French National Railway, AGC meets the needs of the French region because of its wide range of vehicles.
That is to say, it can only be supplied to AGC internal combustion or electric drive, or it can be combined with internal electricity. It is also possible to change capacity by connecting two or four carriages.
Because of the modular design (even with the same components), although there are many models, maintenance and service are very simple. AGC provides drivers with more flexibility, shorter stops and more space for passengers to move and comfort.
FAG provides ready-to-use tapered roller bearings and axle boxes for all AGC models.
The design of modern rail vehicles requires high passenger comfort, low noise and economy. Rolling bearings developed by the industrial department of Scheffler Group, which are used in Railway Transmission systems, make this possible. Various ball and roller bearings are used to guide the transmission shaft. As described below, various types of bearings can be used, such as deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning roller bearings and angular contact ball bearings.
The increasing demand for control and monitoring systems in the field of railway transportation requires comprehensive data acquisition of vehicles during operation. More and more information about wheelset bearings is used in various vehicle systems. It includes speed signal and direction monitoring, while bearing temperature monitoring is one of the thermal operation monitoring.
