Axlebox

The axle boxes are the fittings between the rotating wheelset and the semi-static bogie chassis. All forces acting between these components are transferred through springs, dampers, and guide elements. Axle boxes have always been a vital component in ensuring the reliability of rolling stock. Axle boxes have a significant impact on operational safety, reliability and rail system vehicle costs.
