Abstract
The key to safety and reliability, when specifically speaking tapered journal bearings, is a matter of bearing design. Design has further an impact on the life-cycle cost. SKF has maintained a key focus in the conceptual development of new bearing designs with the ability to achieve the increased load capacities required by the global customer base. These tapered journal bearings are also known in Australia as 'package bearings" and in North America as "cartridge bearings"; in some other places they are called "wheelset roller bearings". The compact tapered bearing init (Compact TBU or CTBU) concept, when utilized, will require less maintenance costs, will provide higher safety and reliability and is pre-equipped with advanced component technologies that allow railway operators time to react if severe bearing conditions occur while in service.
