Product catalog summary
Introduction
RBC Bearings, through its subsidiary RBC-Schaublin, is renowned for providing advanced plain bearing solutions specifically designed for the railway market. These bearings are engineered to perform under severe conditions, including vibrations, reverse loads, dust contamination, and humidity.

Performance Features
The bearings utilize advanced liner systems, featuring a self-lubricating PTFE film that ensures a low coefficient of friction and minimal wear even under high load and oscillatory conditions. They exhibit high static strength, increased stiffness, and excellent vibratory performance due to the damping qualities of the woven fabric liner. Additionally, the bearings are coated to withstand 600 hours of salt fog exposure, and patented boot seals offer superior environmental protection.

Applications
These bearings are typically used in tramway systems, including lower and upper coupler assemblies, low floor car couplers, suspension and damper joints, and tilt mechanisms.

Certifications and Approvals
RBC-Schaublin is an ISO9001, EN9100, and SNCF AQF-2 approved supplier, recognized by major companies in the railway and aerospace industries for developing highly engineered products tailored to customer specifications.

Product Range
RBC Bearings offers a comprehensive range of products, including:
  • Spherical Plain Bearings: Available in various configurations with self-lubricating options.
  • Needle Roller Bearings: Heavy-duty options with long life.
  • Thin Section Ball Bearings: Available in stainless steel and other materials.
  • Tapered Roller Bearings: Used in heavy-duty applications like trucks and trailers.
  • Airframe Control Bearings: Includes ball and needle roller types.
  • Cam Followers: Various types including patented cylindrical roller cam followers.
  • Specialty Bearings: Custom solutions for aerospace, oil, energy, and other industries.
