Versatility & Performance: METAFRAM rings in the railway sector
In the railway industry, component reliability and longevity are crucial criteria. Trains, metros, and trams operate in demanding conditions, where safety, performance, and low maintenance are essential.
It is in this context that METAFRAM self-lubricating bushings stand out as a solution of choice. Distributed by Soenen Industrie, they are designed to meet the requirements of modern railway infrastructure.
Where are METAFRAM rings used in the railway industry?
METAFRAM bearings and bushings are found in many critical systems, including:
- Braking systems,
- Suspensions and bogies,
- The binding mechanisms,
- Actuators or moving components subjected to repeated forces.
Thanks to their self-lubricating capacity, these rings allow smooth operation, even under strong mechanical stress or continuous vibrations.
Why choose METAFRAM rings for railways?
The technical advantages are numerous:
- Integrated self-lubrication
METAFRAM bushings are made of oil-impregnated sintered bronze or sintered iron, allowing them to operate without external lubricant. This drastically reduces maintenance requirements. - Long-term reliability
Tested on numerous railway installations, these bushings offer extended service life, including in environments subject to strong vibrations, high loads or climatic variations. - Reduced maintenance costs
By eliminating the need for lubrication and minimizing the risk of premature wear, METAFRAM bushings help reduce the cost of ownership of railway equipment.
A technical solution for sustainable mobility
In a sector where efficiency and safety are inseparable, components must be up to the task. METAFRAM's robust, maintenance-free self-lubricating bushings are a concrete response to the technical challenges of modern rail transport.
