Life Cycle Costing of Railway Bearings, Why Not Begin with An Originally Manufactured Bearing?

Life Cycle Costing of Railway Bearings, Why Not Begin with An Originally Manufactured Bearing?

Within the Rail Industry, life cycle costing is a very common method that is used to measure the long-term costs for railway vehicles and railway operators are always on the lookout for ways to reduce them. It is always top of the agenda to reduce the costs of maintaining bearings in any application, but it is even more apparent within the railway industry as maintenance costs account for one third of the life cycle costs. It is important that the bearings utilised within your application are of high quality to begin with and that they are suitable for your application for the long term.

Bearings used within this industry play an important role for both passengers and goods transport, therefore they must be able to withstand heavy loads and have the ability to work at high speeds. Railway vehicles are subjected to static and dynamic loads and are under great weight which can play an essential part in the safety of rail vehicles.


So why not begin by selecting bearings from original bearing manufacturers, known for their high quality, and are designed for taking on heavy loads whilst having the ability to work at high speeds?

The innovation of Railway bearings has incorporated the latest technology advances, providing the best performance and reliability for the application of bearings. These advancements have led to hybrid bearings that provided solutions for extreme railway conditions and both cylindrical and tapered roller bearing units to help extend maintenance intervals and service intervals. These technological advancements on bearings are available in the SKF brand, designed specifically to help monitor, maintain, optimize, and repair throughout their operating life.

Along with SKF, NSK is known to be the leading bearing manufacturer for high-speed trains in Japan. They work with the latest technologies and innovative seal solutions to ensure train safety whilst in use. The ceramically insulated NSK bearings can have high insulation resistance and is therefore reliable for use at high speeds and strong shock loads.

At Quality Bearings Online, we only stock originally manufactured bearing brands such as SKF, NSK, Timken, FAG and more. We believe in offering you the best quality bearings for your application because starting with the best can enhance the performance of your machinery and can help you better plan maintenance, reducing the life cycle cost of your bearings.

Browse our website today for our range of originally manufactured bearing brands that we stock. Can’t find what you are sourcing for? Our team are readily available to help! Contact us today.
