While train wheels may look simple, their conical design actually conceals some of the smartest engineering solutions in transport. Far from just trundling along steel rails, it's the shape of the ...

High-speed train wheel dynamics and wear analysis is an essential field focused on understanding the mechanisms that lead to irregular wear patterns, particularly polygonal wear, on train wheels. This ...

There’s something magical about a train, whether you call it a railway or a railroad, plenty of us have hankered after our own little piece of line on which to shunt wagons or chuff around our domain.

Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business, has introduced the Krautkrämer WheelStar Radsatz-Prüf-System (RPS), expanding its inspection technologies portfolio. The new system promises precise ...

The vast majority of trains on the planet depend on the friction (also known as adhesion traction) between steel drive wheels and steel rails to turn power into motion, but the somewhat slippery metal ...
