SKF bearing maintenance and management
services that improve railway reliability
The overlooked elements of railway maintenance
Harsh operating conditions can damage bearings and reduce service life. Good maintenance of railway bearings help to improve rolling stock efficiency and increase service life. To make that happen, it’s important that every step of the process is considered, included often-forgotten elements like greasing, mounting and remanufacturing.
Best practice for best results
Good bearing maintenance is about more than the parts themselves: it’s about more efficient ways of working and following correct processes, too. Through our dedicated and first class railway remanufacturing facilities, you could reduce costs, utilise your resources and decrease environmental impact. In addition we can support you to:
- Detect failures in the field with condition monitoring
- Optimize the ways you select, store and apply grease
- Adopt new business models for more efficient management of spare parts
