Protection that preserves quality for the long term.
After the wheel bearings have been technically refurbished and inspected, another important step in the maintenance process follows: the coating. It reliably protects the components from corrosion, environmental influences, and mechanical stress during daily railway operation.
Here as well, precision determines quality – because only a properly prepared surface and a professionally applied coating ensure that the refurbished components remain protected for the long term.
✅ Surface preparation
Before coating, the wheel bearings are carefully inspected and prepared. Clean and properly treated surfaces are essential to ensure optimal adhesion of the coating.
✅ Professional coating
The coating is applied using specially coordinated coating systems designed for the demanding conditions of railway operations, ensuring long-lasting corrosion protection.
✅ Uniform coating thickness
Experienced specialists ensure a precise and even application of the coating layer – a key factor for both protection and durability.
✅ Inspection & documentation
As in all maintenance processes, this step is also carefully inspected and documented. This ensures that the quality of every component remains fully traceable.
What makes this step particularly important?
It ensures that precisely refurbished components remain permanently protected – allowing them to perform their function reliably over the long term.
