BRENCO® BEARINGS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Amsted Rail is addressing the increasing demands on freight cars by developing high-quality bearings designed for heavier loads and higher speeds. Their proprietary technologies enhance durability and reduce costs, making them a leader in railway bearings.

Bogie Performance
The performance of bogies, or undercarriage systems, is heavily reliant on the quality of bearings. Amsted Rail customizes bearings based on various factors such as load types, environmental conditions, and railcar specifications, ensuring optimal performance.

Product Range

Generation 2000 Bearings: These include Class K and Class M bearings, designed to prevent axle deflections and wear, using hardened steel components.
AAR Standard Bearings: Classes C, D, E, F, and G bearings use polyamide cages and seamless forged rings for high-impact resistance and performance under extreme loads.
Locomotive Bearings: Class GG bearings are equipped with safety-standard polyamide cages and are designed for heavy-duty locomotive service.
Tru-Fit® Backing Ring: This innovation prevents loose backing rings, reducing wheelset removals and associated revenue losses.
International Bearings: Designed for diverse global applications, these bearings often feature the Tru-Guard® seal for zero seal torque operation.
Inch Bearings: Products like AUSBRID™, AUSBRID PLUS™, and MEGA-TONNE™ are tailored for heavy haul railroads, offering superior fatigue life.
Metric Bearings: These are produced for European and 1520mm railway markets, suitable for both freight and passenger applications.
