Generation
2000 (Bearings)
 Developed to address the problem of excessive axle
deflections which lead to fretting, cone back face wear and loose
components, this shorter bearing design allows for a stronger
axle journal. While still fitting current sideframes and trucks,
the Generation 2000 bearing improves bearing retention and reduces
bearing centerline deflection by 57% and stress by 25% with Class
K at 286,000 lb. loading.
Because greater demands are put on the bearing in the form of
higher loads and longer wheel life, Generation 2000 comes standard
with our ST-212 seal and specially formulated synthetic and premium
greases. These items combine to keep torque and temperatures,
as well as wear rates, extremely low. |
