Axle Box Housing

Axlebox Housing: High Performance and Reliability for Railway Systems

Desman designs and manufactures Axlebox Housings that deliver superior performance and operational safety under the most demanding railway conditions. As a critical bogie component, these housings directly impact vehicle dynamics, load-carrying capacity, and maintenance efficiency. Leveraging advanced engineering approaches and high-quality materials, our solutions meet the strictest international standards, maximizing the reliability and lifespan of your systems.

 

Desman Axlebox Housing: Technical Superiority and Design

The Axlebox Housing serves as a critical connection between the wheelset and the bogie frame. It transfers static and dynamic loads from the vehicle body to the wheels while protecting axle bearings from external elements and ensuring the integrity of the lubrication system. Desman manufactures these critical components using nodular cast iron, resin sand casting, and precision CNC machining techniques. This production methodology guarantees both mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy.

 

Key Features and Strategic Advantages

  • High Load Capacity: Our designs are optimized to safely carry axle loads up to 23.5 tons, making them ideal for heavy freight and passenger vehicles.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Our products maintain structural integrity and performance in extreme climates, from -50°C to +120°C.
  • Advanced Sealing System: A dual-layer sealing system, consisting of labyrinth and LL lip seals, protects bearings from contamination and extends lubricant life.
  • Optimized Maintenance Processes: The split housing design allows for quick and efficient wheelset replacement without requiring bogie disassembly.
  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-nickel coating applied to the surface ensures long-term corrosion resistance in high-humidity and harsh environmental conditions.
  • Full Compliance with International Standards: All products are designed and tested in accordance with global railway standards such as AAR, EN, and GOST.
