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.
