RAILWAY AGE, JULY 2022 ISSUE: Reducing rail wear and mitigating noise in tight curves are among the benefits of lubrication and its high-tech equivalent, friction management. Suppliers are helping ...

High-speed train wheel dynamics and wear analysis is an essential field focused on understanding the mechanisms that lead to irregular wear patterns, particularly polygonal wear, on train wheels. This ...

RAILWAY AGE, JULY 2023 ISSUE: Wayside or onboard, methods and materials vary, but they all have the same objectives. Lubrication and its high-tech equivalent, friction management, are important ...

m|wheel was designed by Müller-BBM Rail Technologies as a high-precision measuring device for the wheel diameter and the wheel-running surface, which can be used to confirm if wheels are out-of-shape, ...

At the start of September, Network Rail announced the roll-out of eight forerunners of its upcoming fleet of mobile maintenance trains (MMTs), a brand new concept that promises to “revolutionise ...

While train wheels may look simple, their conical design actually conceals some of the smartest engineering solutions in transport. Far from just trundling along steel rails, it's the shape of the ...
