Axles

Proven quality

There are five good reasons for the exceptional life cycle of our wheelset shafts: the careful selection of materials, the superior design, the elaborate, close-contour forging and the high-quality tempering. And of course the mechanical pre-machining on process-optimised machines.

The material

The purpose of use and the customer’s requirements define the steel. We follow the latest standards. In any case, however, the quality meets the highest standards: rigorously tested, tried and tested thousands of times.

The manufacturing process

With our radial forging machine, we manufacture wheelset shafts close to contour and with reduced use of pre-material. Our blanks are individually adapted to the given contour and forged. Each shaft shape is unique and is adapted to the customer’s requirements.

Quality inspection

All common heat treatment processes are available to you as a customer: Tempering, normalising and the like. All wheelset shafts are ultrasonically inspected radially and axially and tested according to the applicable standards.

Our Axles offer

Smooth or stepped Axles

We offer both variants. By forging close to the contour, we can keep the use of pre-material as low as possible. The shafts are mechanically pre-machined according to agreed drawing specifications.

Solid or longitudinally bored

You decide according to your application. Our shaft blanks are mechanically pre-machined and longitudinally bored on customer request. The longitudinal drilling is done ready for use.

For all rail vehicles

For high-speed and tilting trains, intercity and regional trains, locomotives, suburban and underground trains, local traffic, freight traffic, special vehicles – reliability is guaranteed in every case.
