Induction Hardened Rail Wheel for Superior Surface Wear Resistance

Induction Hardened Rail Wheel for Superior Surface Wear Resistance

 Are you currently experiencing any of these operational issues?

•  Is there abnormal wear on the wheel tread, resulting in excessive replacement frequency?
•  Does the crane exhibit severe rail gouging during operation, accompanied by loud noise and noticeable vibration?
•  Do the wheels develop cracks or become crushed under heavy loads or during continuous operation?
•  Is there a poor fit between the wheel set and the bearing housing, making maintenance time-consuming and labour-intensive?
• The root cause of the aforementioned issues often lies in the fact that the wheel material, heat treatment process or structural design are not suited to the actual operating conditions. The crane wheels and wheel sets we supply are specifically designed to address these issues.

 Advantages throughout the entire process, from material selection to the finished product

1. Carefully selected forged steel, free from casting defects

Unlike standard cast steel wheels, we use high-strength forged alloy steels such as 42CrMo, 65Mn, 60# and CL60.The forging process eliminates internal porosity and looseness, allowing the metal to flow evenly across the wheel’s surface, thereby significantly enhancing its load-bearing capacity and impact toughness.

2.Precision machining to ensure geometric accuracy

The wheel tread, flange and bore are machined in a single set-up, with strict control over the radial runout of the tread and the perpendicularity of the flange, thereby minimising rail gouging caused by assembly deviations at source.

How to Choose the Right Product Quickly? — A Classification Guide

We supply complete wheel sets (including axles, bearing housings and couplings) or individual wheels, configured to your requirements:

Why choose our support services?

• Customised to non-standard specifications: We can provide engineering drawings based on tread hardness, wheel diameter, axle bore dimensions and bearing type.
• Delivered as a complete set: the drive wheel assembly includes a gear coupling, whilst the driven wheel assembly includes the shaft and bearings; ready for installation upon delivery.
• After-sales support: We provide installation guidance and advice on operation and maintenance, and assist in identifying the root causes of rail gouging.
