The world＇s largest rail transit began, SKF extended maintenance cycle through advanced technology!

  The International Exhibition InnoTrans 2018 Berlin Rail Transit, the largest, fastest-growing and most professional audience in the world's rail transit industry, opened on September 18.

  As the leader of the bearing industry, Skyfu SKF launched this year's exhibition theme: "full of information, infinite - Skyfu technology helps to extend the maintenance cycle", and focuses on demonstrating the development results of digitalization and extension of the maintenance cycle. The application of Skyfu's industry insight, technology and professional services can help railway operators achieve more intelligent and efficient practices throughout the equipment maintenance life cycle.

  Railway operators need highly reliable wheel bearings with long maintenance cycles. Skyfu keeps this in mind. The 1.7 million kilometers conical bearing unit for axle box bearings of passenger cars will be on display, synchronizing with the wheel maintenance cycle, in order to achieve lower bogie maintenance frequency. Together with it is a new type of cylindrical roller bearing unit for wheel end application.

  Skyfu's Hybrid and Insocoat solutions for driving systems will also be on display. In Hybrid bearings, traditional steel rolling element is replaced by ceramic rolling element. Thanks to its lower friction, Hybrid bearings have lower temperature than traditional bearings, which makes the lubricant work longer and prolongs the life of bearings. At the same time, the special treated Skyfu Insocoat steel bearing has an insulating coating, which can increase the resistance to stray current.
