Rail
Ensuring Safety at Speed.
Keeping Europe's trains moving.
Europe’s rail network transports billions of passengers and an untold amount of essential freight every year.
All of this is underpinned by bearings, with as many as eight million currently supporting Europe’s rolling stock.
These components not only need to handle age old problems such as spalling, electrical fluting and water ingress, but manufacturers also have to contend with new trends like inboard bearing adoption, digitalisation and evolving maintenance practices.

Extreme conditions require robust knowledge.
Across Europe, as many as 1,000,000 rail bearings are replaced annually, at a total cost of more than €500m.
With high-speed rail networks under construction in the UK, France, Italy and Spain, as well as planned in Poland and the Czech Republic, these numbers will only increase.
