NSK Bearings Facilitate Safe and Comfortable Railway Transportation

In 1932 NSK pioneered the manufacture of rolling stock bearings in Japan by producing tapered roller journal bearings with sleeves for the gasoline-operated vehicles of JNR (Japan National Railways). Since then, NSK has worked closely with Japanese national, municipal and private railroad companies as well as railway operators all over the world to develop high-performance, high-reliability bearings. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that NSK bearings have been used in all Shinkansen trains since the high-speed trains started operation in 1964 with the 0 Series. Today, one of the latest models, the 500 Series, has a maximum operating speed of 300 km per hour. Reflecting the customers trust in their high performance and reliability, NSK bearings are found in the axles, main motors and drive systems of the 500 Series. In 1987, the government-owned Japan National Railways was divided and reorganized into seven private JR companies. These companies have since taken active steps to improve their service by increasing train speed and vigorously improving the efficiency of train operation and maintenance. Examples of recent advances include the aforementioned 500 Series of JR West, which broke the 300-km/h-speed barrier, and JR Easts 209 Series of conventional trains with car overhaul maintenance intervals of 2 000 000 km or 13 years of service. These advancements in rolling stock technology required the development of bearings that were smaller, yet capable of rotating at higher speeds with greater durability. Responding to such challenges, NSK develops and manufactures high-quality bearings with better performance and reliability for axle boxes, main motors and gear units for both Shinkansen and conventional trains.

Introduction to Axle Bearings for Railway Rolling Stock

Characteristics of Axle Bearings


Rolling stock axle bearings are subject to radial impact loads caused by rail joints, switches and sometimes wheel flats, as well as to the static and dynamic radial loads of vehicle weight. They are also liable to receive axial loads generated by lateral movement as trains run on curved rails or in a snaking motion. All of these loads together form complex combinations that act on axle bearings. Axle bearings must therefore be designed on the basis of not only dimensional requirements of the axle journal and bearing box geometry, but also these complex load conditions. Additionally, as axle bearings play a critical role in the safety of railroad operation, they are periodically disassembled for inspection. For this reason, simple and dependable procedures for disassembly, inspection and re-assembly are important design factors as well. Utilizing its vast know-how and experience, NSK has designed, manufactured and supplied a wide variety of axle bearings. Globally, while plane bearings are still widely used, rolling bearings are increasingly being selected to replace them. All types of radial roller bearings, including tapered roller bearings, spherical roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings, have been used in rolling stock axles based on the particular merits of each type. To improve operating efficiency, bearings must offer longer inspection intervals, simplified maintenance procedures and increased integration of bearing components and adjacent parts. To meet these needs, unitized bearings with advanced sealing devices have been introduced and are now widely used in modern rolling stock.

Types of Axle Bearings and Their Applications


Axle bearings currently in use are classified into the following six types based both on bearing type and sealing device: 1. RCT Bearings (Sealed-Clean Rotating End Cap Tapered Roller Bearings) 2. RCC Bearings (Sealed-Clean Rotating End Cap Cylindrical Roller Bearings) 3. Spherical roller bearings 4. Cylindrical roller bearings combined with ball bearings 5. Cylindrical roller bearings with ribs 6. Tapered roller bearings To ensure sufficient load-carrying capacity, all of these types are usually manufactured in double-row configurations.

RCT Bearings (Sealed-Clean Rotating End Cap Tapered Roller Bearings)

Preventing grease deterioration and leakage, as well as the intrusion of water and other foreign matter into the grease, are vital for eliminating bearing trouble and lengthening maintenance intervals. Clearly, bearing seals offer the best way of achieving these objectives. RCT bearings are highly integrated with surrounding components and incorporate advanced sealing mechanisms. They offer outstanding performance, durability and ease of handling. The NSK RCT inch series was approved by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) for use on freight car axles and has been widely used in markets all over the world. In Japan, RCT bearings have long been used as container car axle bearings, earning a reputation among users for their excellent performance and durability. Recently, RCT bearings are being used in a broader range of applications including Shinkansen trains and new models of conventional electric and diesel trains. The following outlines the features and usage of current RCT bearings: 1. Generally, RCT bearings consist of an end cap, cap screws, a locking plate for fastening the end cap, a seal wear ring, a double-row tapered roller bearing and a backing ring. The latest variation has a backing ring that also serves as a seal wear ring. 2. When the axle end needs to be exposed for inspection or re-machining of the wheel, it can be exposed easily by loosening the cap screws and removing the end cap. A recent variation incorporates a smaller rubber cover designed to further ease access to the end of the axle.

3. Oil seals, mounted in seal cases, are press-fitted onto both ends of the outer ring and are in contact with the seal wear rings with a specified interference and pressure. The seals are spring-loaded contact seals. They are capable of preventing grease leakage and the intrusion of water and foreign matter into the bearing. The seal packing is made of nitrile or acrylic rubber in most cases, although it may be made of fluoric rubber for high-speed applications such as in Shinkansen trains. 4. An amount of grease equivalent to approximately onehalf to one-third of the bearings internal volume, including seal lips, is prepacked in the bearing. No grease replenishment is necessary for the duration of the bearings service life. Grease with NLGI consistency number 2 is used for axle bearings. Lithium or sodium grease is most often used, though other kinds of grease such as lithium-calcium compound grease or urea-based grease may be used depending on bearing conditions like speed, load and maintenance frequency. 5. The mounting and dismounting of RCT bearings is performed by press-fitting or press-pulling using special-purpose tools. The press-fitting operation is controlled by the amount of interference between the outside diameter of the axle journal and the bore diameter of the bearings inner ring, as well as by the load applied from the press-fitting. 6. For the assembly of bogies with axles supported by RCT bearings, saddle-type adapters are used instead of the bearing boxes commonly used for ordinary bearings. The use of such adapters can reduce the weight of the bogie and make assembly work easier.

Axle Bearings for Railway Rolling Stock

The most remarkable characteristic of RCC and RCT bearings is that they are both prepacked with grease and thoroughly sealed with oil seals. In electric trains in Japan, the usage of RCC bearings preceded that of RCT bearings in large part because RCC bearings are more easily disassembled and reassembled and therefore better facilitate inspection and maintenance.

Axle Bearings for Railway Rolling Stock

Spherical roller bearings have relatively high radial loadcarrying capacity and can also carry axial loads. These features are conducive to designing the adjacent parts of the bearing in more compact arrangements. When a single spherical roller bearing is mounted on an axle journal, the bearing box is allowed to move freely in relation to the axle center because of the self-aligning property of the bearing. Therefore, by setting the load-carrying point below the bearing's axis of rotation, the bearing box can be stabilized and misalignment minimized. Excessive misalignment may result in contact between the slinger and the rear cover and lead to wear and heating. When a single spherical roller bearing is used, the use of a wingtype bearing box is recommended. When two spherical roller bearings are used in a doublerow configuration to provide higher load-carrying capacity, the self-aligning capability of the bearing is lost and, for design reasons, the journal must be longer. While this type of bearing is used worldwide, it is most popular in Europe, where it has been standardized by the International Union of Railways (UIC).

Cylindrical Roller Bearings Combined with Ball Bearings


Cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs) have high load-carrying capacity because of the linear contact between their rollers and raceways. They are capable of high running speeds because of their relatively small friction coefficient and they offer advantages in maintenance because they are more easily disassembled, inspected and reassembled. Furthermore, they allow the free setup of their axial clearance. However, ordinary CRBs require another bearing to handle axial loads, increasing the number of parts required for supporting the axle journal. Usually, the axial loads are borne by a single-row radial ball bearing such as a deep groove ball bearing or an angular contact ball bearing installed between the bearing box front cover and the axle end. To absorb axial loads, a rubber buffer or a coned disc spring is placed between the ball bearings outer ring and the bearing box front cover. Sealing is provided by a seal between the rear cover and the bearing box. In Japan, bearings of this type of construction have long been used and referred to as journal box type bearings. For conventional rolling stock, bearing boxes containing a double-row cylindrical roller bearing for radial loads and an angular contact ball bearing with a rubber buffer for axial loads have been used for many years. Initially for Shinkansen trains, bearing boxes essentially identical to the conventional type were employed, although the combination of an angular contact ball bearing and a rubber buffer was replaced early on by a deep groove ball bearing and a coned disc spring.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings with Ribs


With this type of bearing, axial load is borne by ribs on the outer and inner rings and by the ends of the rollers. This type is referred to as the UIC type and has been standardized in Europe. When compared with cylindrical roller bearings combined with ball bearings, the UIC type offers the advantages of reduced cost and simpler and more compact housing construction owing to the absence of the ball bearing. Formerly, it was believed that insufficient load-carrying capacity of the bearing ribs could lead to problems at high speeds. However, with the adoption of this type of bearing for the 300 Series Shinkansen, it was demonstrated that improved design of the ribs and roller ends coupled with better finishing accuracy eliminated such problems. This type of axle bearing can be constructed with a sealing arrangement between the rear cover and the bearing box or, as described in the section on RCT bearings, they can have an internally sealed construction.

Axle Bearings for Railway Rolling Stock

Tapered roller bearings can carry radial and axial loads simultaneously and therefore permit compact design of the bearing and its adjacent parts. This type of bearing, however, requires precise internal clearance adjustment in order to perform properly. Tapered roller bearings are used either in sets of two, or in a double-row configuration in which there is one outer ring or one inner ring for the two rows of rollers. There are two types of duplex arrangements: back-to-back and face-toface, as shown in Figs. 1-14 and 1-15, respectively. For rolling stock axle applications where heavy moment loads are expected, the back-to-back arrangement, which provides a greater distance between load centers (l1>l2), is preferable.

When the rollers are rolling under load, part of their load is transferred to the large rib of the inner ring. The rollers maintain sliding contact with and are guided by the rib. This results in the friction coefficient of these bearings being higher than that of cylindrical bearings. Recently, however, improvements in surface roughness and contact geometry have virtually eliminated the friction problems associated with tapered roller bearings for axles. This type of axle bearing can be designed with a sealed arrangement between the rear cover and the bearing box or, as described in the section on RCT bearings, they can have an internally sealed construction.

Characteristics and Recent Trends of Traction Motor Bearings


1) Characteristics of Bearings

series 3 and have high load-carrying capacity. Cylindrical roller bearings offer the advantage of easy disassembly, inspection and reassembly for maintenance. 2) Cardan Drive Type

Characteristically, the bearings for a traction motor perform high- d mn revolution, with frequent starts and stops, while carrying radial load equivalent to the mass of the rotor shaft of the traction motor. The weight of the coupler is added to the radial load when the motor is used in a parallel Cardan device, and the reaction force of the mating gears is added when the motor is suspended by a nose suspension device. The radial load further includes dynamic components arising from the vibration of the bogie during operation. Bearings and the grease they contain can be affected by heat generated by the traction motor during operation. Compared with other rolling stock bearings, traction motor bearings are most liable to be affected by heat. 2) Characteristics of Recent Traction Motors Recent electric trains have VVVF-controlled AC motors in place of conventional DC motors. More compact and lighter, these AC motors rotate faster than conventional motors. In response to the higher speed and operating temperature, the bearings and grease have improved speed capability, heat resistance and durability in comparison to bearings used in conventional motors. Specific improvements to these bearings include a better cage-guiding system that reduces deterioration of the grease, improved insulation to protect bearings from electrical pitting and greater dimensional stability through specialized heat treatment.

The improved performance and reduced size and weight of traction motors have permitted them to be mounted on bogies in Cardan systems. In conventional electric trains, traction motors are mounted in parallel Cardan systems using torsion shafts (Fig. 3-2, P51), and, for Shinkansen or standard-gauge trains, using gear couplings (Fig. 3-4, P51). In this parallel Cardan system, the coupling, which is interposed between the traction motor and the gear, eliminates the reaction force of the mating gears on the bearings. Recently, as the mass of the rotors has been reduced, cylindrical roller bearings of diameter series 3 or 2 with smaller thicknesses have been used on the loaded side, and deep groove ball bearings on the non-loaded side.

DC Motor for Electric Car

Types of Traction Motor Bearings


Depending on how the traction motor is mounted on the bogie, the arrangement of the bearings is different. 1) Nose Suspension Type In electric locomotives equipped with a high-output traction motor, the motor is mounted in a nose suspension, and its armature transmits its rotation power via a pinion directly connected to it (Fig. 3-1, P51). Traction motor bearings are operated under high load with occasional impact loads caused by the reaction force of mating gears. An NU-type cylindrical roller bearing is used on the loaded side of the motor, and an NH- or NUP-type cylindrical roller bearing capable of carrying axial loads is used on the non-loaded side. The bearings are in diameter

Specifications for New Traction Motor Bearings


1) Dimension Stabilizing Heat Treatment To control variations in the dimensions and internal clearances of traction motor bearings caused by temperature rise during operation, a special heat treatment known as dimension stabilizing heat treatment is applied to the bearings. 2) Improvement in Cage Guide System The cage of a rotating bearing is guided by the bore surface of the outer ring (outer ring-guided), or by the rolling elements (rolling element-guided). When the cage is outer ring-guided, the cage is in sliding contact with the bore surface of the outer ring. If lubrication becomes insufficient due to deterioration of grease or electrical pitting, the guiding surface of the cage and the bore surface of the outer ring are prone to wear. On the other hand, when the cage is rolling element-guided, better lubrication is maintained in the sliding contact interfaces between the cage and rolling elements. This helps to prevent grease deterioration even when lubricating conditions are less favorable. Lately, owing to advances in cage manufacturing technology and for greater cost efficiency, rolling element-guided cages are increasingly used in traction motor bearings. 3) Development of Insulated Bearings Insulating bearings is the most reliable method for preventing electrical pitting. Bearing insulation can be achieved by coating the outer diameter and end face surfaces of the bearing outer ring with an insulating material such as alumina ceramics or PPS (polyphenylene
Weight: 570 kg Rotor Stator Induction Motor (150 kW)

sulfide). Ceramics are applied by thermal spraying and PPS by injection molding. In Japan, ceramic-insulated bearings were adopted for the traction motors of the Shinkansen 300 Series, and since then, have been increasingly used in newer generation Shinkansen trains. PPS is a resin that is easy to mold and has good heat resistance, dimensional stability and heat conductivity. For use as bearing insulation, its toughness is improved by adding fiberglass. While its physical properties are slightly inferior to alumina, PPS is less expensive. PPS-coated insulated bearings are used in many of the newly built conventional trains equipped with AC traction motors. 4) Use of Heat-Resistant Grease Lithium grease has been used in DC motor bearings for many years. With the recent trend toward the replacement of DC traction motors with AC motors, a lithium-complex soap grease was developed to achieve higher heat resistance and durability. This new type of grease, Unimax R No. 2, is used extensively in AC traction motor bearings for Shinkansen 300 Series trains as well as newly manufactured trains for conventional railroad lines.

Bearings for Motor Generators


Even though motor generators are already larger than other electrical auxiliary equipment in railcars, they are becoming even larger because of the need for airconditioning systems. The operating conditions for motor generator bearings are just as severe as for traction motors and include: 1. High ambient temperature 2. High speed with grease lubrication and a long interval for overhaul 3. High vibration Sealed bearings are commonly used in motor generators.

Gear Unit Bearings

Characteristics and Types of Gear Unit Bearings


Gear unit bearings are used to facilitate the smooth transmission of rotating force to the axles under vibration during train operation. The bearings are usually operated under harsh conditions. The reaction forces from the mating gears as well as the inertia force of the pinion shaft and the gearbox are applied to the gear bearings. Gear unit bearings are most often lubricated by an oil bath whose oil is splashed by the gears as they turn. Pinion bearings, however, are located higher up in the gearbox and their lubrication is generally more difficult. For gears and pinions, pairs of single-row tapered roller bearings are used in combination. Pinion bearings are used in face-to-face arrangements on the traction motor side and wheel side, while gear bearings are arranged either back-to-back or face-to-face depending on the type of coupling.

3) Measures to Prevent Rib Seizure In tapered roller bearings, seizure may occur between the inner ring rib and roller end faces because of excessive thrust force at high speeds. Improvements in surface roughness and geometry, combined with advances in gearbox design and lubricating conditions, have been applied to NSK bearings to prevent such rib seizure.

Driving Gear Bearings for Diesel Vehicles


Diesel railway cars and locomotives use three power transmission methods: 1. Direct drive or mechanical transmission (Fig. 3-5) 2. Electrical transmission (Fig. 3-6) 3. Hydraulic transmission (Fig. 3-7) Presently, electrical and hydraulic transmission systems are mainly used because they allow higher speeds, greater power and easier control.

Specifications for New Gear Unit Bearings


In the case of electrical transmission, electricity generated 1) Improved Cage Strength Stresses generated in portions of the cage by vibration during train operation increase as the train runs faster. The cage is required to have higher fatigue strength to resist these stresses. Particularly for Shinkansen trains, cage stress was reduced by increasing the thickness of the cage sheet. Also, the fatigue strength and wear resistance of the cage were increased by nitriding the cage surfaces, increasing the reliability of cages for gear unit bearings. 2) Dimension Stabilizing Heat Treatment When used to support gears on Shinkansen trains operated continuously at high speeds, the bearings are subjected to high temperature rise caused by the agitation of the lubricating oil. They are also prone to creep in the inner ring due to expansion of the inner ring bore diameter after extended operation. To prevent creep, the bearing inner ring is specially heat treated for dimensional stabilization. by a diesel engine drives the traction motor. The driving method of the traction motor is the same as in electric vehicles. The operating conditions for the reduction gears and reverse gears of the hydraulic and direct-drive systems are similar to the gear units in electric vehicles. However, hydraulic drive applies complex gear systems for changing speed and direction using many kinds of bearings. Customers therefore require that bearings have minimal maintenance requirements.
