ROLLER BEARINGS USED ON HIGH-SPEED RAIL VEHICLES

WALZLAGER IN SCHIENENFAHRZEUGEN FUER HOHE GESCHWINDIGKEITEN

The combination of load and speed is decided by the condition of the track and operating considerations. In order to arrive at the dimensions of the roller bearings, account must be taken of every combination of stress, as well as of their length of life. The impulse control, depending on the frequency, enables use to be made of rapid traction motors, without commutators. The increase in the number of revolutions, in the case of these motors, requires use to be made of new anti-friction methods, as well as of flexible intermediate links, for resilient transmission of the moment of rotation between the motor and the gears. In spite of the higher speeds, expenditure on maintenance must be reduced. Control and safety equipment in the vehicle is to be amplified by means of testing equipment in the repair shops.
