Enables higher rail freight loads
25 February 2015
SKF has launched a new compact tapered roller bearing unit for railway operators that enables increased weight to be carried in freight cars designed for heavy hauls.
This CTBU from SKF is the only heavy haul bearing rated to 45t operational axle load on the market. This represents a transportation capacity increase from existing 35.5t axle load to 45t, allowing customers to increase transported weight of product in existing or new wagon fleets.
The new solution was developed as a direct result of customer requests and meets the needs of railway operators who are trending towards carrying heavier loads worldwide.
