What types of traction motor bearings are there?
Spherical roller bearings
Ball bearings
Roller bearings
Traction motor bearings are suitable for various traction motors, such as subways, trains, electric locomotives, diesel locomotives and other traction motors. In these occasions, they need to withstand large impact loads and high-speed operation, so high-performance traction motor bearings are required to ensure stable operation and long service life of the motor.
Traction motor bearings operate under harsh conditions, such as:
High radial and axial loads
High impact loads
High speed
Long-term operation without maintenance
Features and Benefits of Traction Motor Bearings
High load capacity can withstand huge axial and radial loads to meet the weight and operating requirements of the vehicles it drives.
Can withstand shock loads and vibrations, bearings are made of durable materials and high-quality heat-resistant materials to withstand extreme conditions and high temperatures generated by motors during operation.
Equipped with advanced sealing systems to prevent contamination caused by dust, moisture and other environmental factors, helping to extend the service life of bearings and reduce maintenance requirements.
Low friction design helps save energy and extend bearing life.
High-speed trains and electric vehicles require bearings that can withstand high speeds and maintain performance and reliability.
By reducing noise and vibration, help ensure passenger comfort in trains and electric vehicles and enhance the overall travel experience.
With a long service life and low manufacturing cost, it can help companies reduce the frequency of motor replacement and maintenance costs.
Traction motors generate huge power to drive heavy moving vehicles, and the bearings are designed to effectively carry the load, ensuring that the motors can run smoothly even under heavy axial and radial loads.
Bearings help minimize friction between the rotating parts of traction motors. This is critical to saving energy, preventing overheating and maintaining efficiency.
Bearings reduce wear on moving parts, helping to extend the life of the motor and reduce maintenance requirements.
