Impact Loads in Railway Systems

Railway bogie bearings are subjected to severe impact loads during:

  • Train acceleration (push from locomotive)
  • Braking (impact from wheel sets)
  • Switch passage (side impact)
  • Car coupling (longitudinal impact)

Impact of Loads

Impact loads cause:

  • Plastic deformation of raceways (dents)
  • Fatigue cracks in the separator
  • Increased wear of rollers and rings
  • Destruction of the lubricant layer

Solutions for Impact Loads

  • Bearings with reinforced separators (heavy-duty brass)
  • Surface hardening of raceways
  • Special lubricant with anti-wear additives
  • Increased radial clearance to compensate for impacts
