HM136948/HM136916XD G7X12/G7X14 Railway train bearings
The HM136948 / HM136916XD is a high-precision imperial TDO double-row tapered roller bearing, specially engineered for heavy-haul railway wheel set fixed-end applications. Marked by a unique non-standard shoulder structure, this bearing boasts customized dimensional design that differentiates it from conventional railway bearings, requiring precise matching with mating components to deliver optimal assembly accuracy and load transmission efficiency. The assembly consists of two independent HM136948 inner cones and a rigid one-piece HM136916XD double outer cup, paired with a precision internal spacer to stabilize axial clearance and enhance overall structural integrity during dynamic operation.
Crafted from premium vacuum-degassed bearing steel and processed through rigorous heat treatment and ultra-precision raceway grinding, this bearing achieves exceptional hardness, structural toughness and anti-fatigue performance. Its refined roller-to-raceway contact profile effectively disperses extreme alternating radial and axial stresses generated by heavy load impacts and frequent track vibration. This structural optimization minimizes local stress concentration and friction loss, enabling stable, long-term operation under harsh all-weather railway working conditions with outstanding wear resistance and operational durability.
Classified as a 7×12 inch heavy-duty railway bearing with equivalent model BT2-8609BB and TAROL7×12-U-JP, this unit features enlarged load-bearing areas and upgraded structural rigidity. It delivers superior comprehensive load capacity and anti-overturning stability, perfectly adapting to high-tonnage freight railway transportation demands. As a core safety component for heavy-haul rail vehicle wheel set systems, it effectively stabilizes wheel set rotation accuracy and extends the service cycle of bogie assemblies.
