In the field of rail transportation, motor vehicles are vehicles used to provide power. A motor car can be a tractor unit for a locomotive or an EMU.
Autorail Grande Capacité (AGC) FAG Wheelset and Drive Bearings in AGC 2007 Bombardier Transportation manufactures 500 AGC New Zone express trains for SNCF. According to the requirements of the French National Railways, AGC meets the needs of the French region due to its wide range of models.
That is to say, it can be provided only to the AGC for internal combustion or electric drive, or it can be combined with internal electricity. It is also possible to change the capacity by connecting two to four cars.
Thanks to the modular design (ie using the same components), the maintenance and service are very simple, although the models are large. The AGC provides drivers with more flexibility and shorter stops, providing passengers with more space and comfort.
FAG offers ready-to-use tapered roller bearings and axleboxes for all AGC models.
Modern rail vehicles are designed to provide a high level of passenger comfort, low noise and economy. This is made possible by the use of rolling bearings developed by the Schaeffler Group Industrial Division in railway drive systems. Various ball and roller bearings are used on the guide of the drive shaft. As described below, various types of bearings such as deep groove ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, and angular contact ball bearings can be used.
The growing demand for control and monitoring systems in the rail transport sector requires full data collection during operation of the vehicle. More and more information on wheelset bearings is used for the needs of various vehicle systems. These include speed signal and direction monitoring, while bearing temperature monitoring is an additional feature of thermal operation monitoring.
