In the field of railway transportation, motor cars are used to provide power. A motor car can be a traction unit of a locomotive or motor car unit.
Fag wheel sets and transmission bearings of autorail Grande capacit é (AGC) in AGC in 2007, Bombardier transportation manufactured 500 AGC new area express trains for SNCF. According to the requirements of French national railway, AGC meets the needs of France due to its wide range of models.
In other words, it can only be provided to AGC internal combustion or electric drive, or it can be combined with internal electricity. The transport capacity can also be changed by coupling two to four carriages.
Due to the modular design (i.e. using the same components), although there are many models, the maintenance and service are very simple. AGC provides more flexibility for drivers, shorter stops, and more activity space and comfort for passengers.
Fag provides ready to use tapered roller bearings and axle boxes for all AGC models.
The design of modern rail vehicles requires a high degree of passenger comfort, low noise and economy. The rolling bearing developed by the industrial department of Schaeffler Group, which is used in railway transmission system, makes this possible. Various ball and roller bearings are used in the guide of the transmission shaft. As described below, various types of bearings such as deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning roller bearings and angular contact ball bearings can be used.
The increasing demand for control and monitoring system in the field of railway transportation requires comprehensive data acquisition during vehicle operation. More and more wheel set bearing information is used for the needs of various vehicle systems. It includes speed signal and direction monitoring, and the monitoring of bearing temperature is an additional function of thermal operation monitoring.
The industrial department of Schaeffler Group has developed wheel set bearings with integrated sensors (ready to install modules with integrated sensors), which have been optimized to meet the requirements of railway transportation.
The sensor reliably transmits the relevant speed information to the wheel sliding and braking system, speed indicator, door closing mechanism and rolling recognition system.
