Railroad Bearings

For railroad industry, the ever-growing demands on energy cost reduction, demand for greener fleets combined with passengers’ high expectations for pleasurable travel experience is no easy task. Understanding these challenges is what differs AEC from our competitors. With over 40 years of experience in engineering and manufacturing rolling bearings, AEC has demonstrated its ability to provide solutions that are at the forefront of technology. Our bearings satisfy the most demanding requirements while assuring our customers exceptional quality and complete reliability.

AEC bearings feature high reliability, robust design, and low maintenance: perfectly matched for applications such as wheel axles, gearboxes, and traction motors that are exposed to high loads, shocks and vibrations, and are subject to high safety standards. Higher torque and rolling resistance require more power and more fuel to operate. AEC's low torque bearings help reduce overall railcar rolling resistance, resulting in improvements in fuel efficiency and bearing operating temperatures. AEC bearings are designed to retain lubrication effectively and exclude contaminants that can affect the overall bearing and system performance. AEC has also engineered full complement bearings for heavier loadings, wheel axles, gearboxes, and traction motors.

AEC’s wide range of products is backed by its expert support that provides technical and sales services from the development phase all the way through on-site application fitment to ensure reliability and longevity of the product as well as the application.
