Railway Axles are key components of railway rolling stock. Together with wheel, bearing, axle box, brake disc and gear system, can be assembled to be wheel set system for railway bogie. The axles serve to transmit driving torque to the wheel, as well as to maintain the position of the wheels relative to each other and to the vehicle body.
According to railway vehicles, the axles can be grouped as freight wagon axle, coach axle, and locomotive axle.
TEDRAIL can supply almost all types of axles according to the main specification worldwide. Such as:
