Bearings manufacturer SKF has received an order for 14,000 axleboxes and compact tapered bearing units (TBUs) for a new generation of freight cars from AAE Ahaus Alstatter Eisenbahn AG.
AAE is the European market leader in the rental of standard freight cars for combined and conventional rail freight. The order includes a service package based on bearing inspection and overhaul.
SKF has developed a new Y25 axlebox concept, which is equipped with compact tapered bearing units. The design offers opportunities to achieve lower life cycle cost through longer maintenance intervals and simplified maintenance operations.
