In electric locomotives, the traction motor is typically suspended using an axle bearing system. This setup allows the motor to be mounted on the bogie through a lever on one side, while the other end is supported directly by the axle via the bearing. The design of the axle bearing is generally simpler compared to sliding bearings, but it may not offer the same level of smoothness or ease of inspection. During the 1950s, there was a significant shift from sliding bearings to rolling bearings in this application. Today, cylindrical roller bearings, spherical roller bearings, and tapered roller bearings are commonly used in such systems. Cylindrical roller bearings are ideal for high-speed locomotives due to their long grease life and easy installation and maintenance. When used with a sealed housing, their performance becomes even more reliable. Tapered roller bearings, on the other hand, provide excellent rigidity and help maintain accurate gear meshing, although they require more careful adjustment during assembly and disassembly. Spherical roller bearings, often used in complex applications, are particularly effective at handling axial misalignment. However, their disassembly can be more challenging compared to tapered bearings. In China, electric locomotive traction motors often use spherical roller bearings, with model number 3G3053148T being a common choice. These bearings are known for their durability and reliability in demanding railway environments.
