Passenger and locomotive solutions
Electric and diesel locomotives are the work horses for all railway operators to haul freight and passenger trains. Some operators even use them for high speed operation.
In passenger transportation more and more electric and diesel multiple units are used for long and short distance service, especially where shorter trains operating with shorter intervals are needed.
SKF plays an active role in the development of many types of axleboxes for different bogies. We design for increased reliability and safety, as well as downsizing to meet weight restrictions. In addition SKF offers package solutions including monitoring of relevant operational parameters like speed, positioning, temperature, vibration and more.
