NSK: Bearings for rail vehicles

24 rail transport l components NSK BEARINGS FOR RAIL VEHICLES The Japanese bearings manufacturer NSK is known for the high quality of its production,from the use of special high-strength bearing steels through innovative design solutions to perfect service. It is the largest Japanese manufacturer of bearings, ball screws, and linear guides. In Europe, NSK also has an extensive network of production facilities in Poland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. To ensure a reliable supply, every NSK product is manufactured in at least two production facilities. special 2020 T+T Technika a trh Gearboxes, traction motors, axle sets, and door closing systems, all of these include bearings in rail vehicles. The main requirement for these bearings is reliability. NSK bearings for traction motors are designed to achieve longer service life, safety, and high reliability. These bearings must meet requirements for high radial, axial, and impact resistance, high speed, and long and maintenance-free operating times. Therefore, NSK uses superpure bearing steels. Both the inner and outer rings undergo thermal dimensional stabilisation and very rigid cages are used.
