RKB has supplied high-performance radial cylindrical roller bearings designed to withstand heavy radial loads, severe vibrations, and extreme operating temperatures for the maintenance of a leading steel producer’s shunting locomotives.

These RKB bearings are installed in some of the locomotive’s most critical high-stress applications:

• Axle boxes (wheelsets): Supporting the locomotive’s full weight while operating on demanding industrial railway tracks.
• Hydraulic turbo-transmission: Withstanding high rotational speeds, intense vibrations, and substantial centrifugal forces.
• Final drive gearboxes: Transmitting the high torque required to haul heavy torpedo wagons carrying molten metal.
