Railway

In the railway industry, design engineers face the challenge of advancing transportation while carefully selecting bearing components that minimize noise and control costs. Bearings must handle high loads, wide temperature variations, and corrosive environments, all while ensuring the safety and efficiency of railway systems. Relying on outdated bearing technology can increase risks related to stress, speed, and load, jeopardizing passenger and cargo safety.

 

GGB’s innovative bearing and coating solutions significantly reduce the risk of failure. Our bearings offer high load capacity, low friction, a broad operating temperature range, and superior corrosion resistance. These features help reduce noise, prevent quality issues, and enhance safety, all while providing a cost-effective solution.
