Technical solutions designed for transportation applications and airport equipment

Rollix has unveiled a sales communication tool dedicated to the transportation sector, a comprehensive resource showcasing over 50 years of expertise in rotary solutions for the transport and airport service equipment sectors. Designed to withstand intensive use and meet high reliability standards, our solutions support manufacturers and integrators in developing ever more high-performance equipment.

Our slewing rings and bearings are used in a wide range of applications, such as underground railways, trams, tram-trains, trains, buses, light automated vehicles, self-propelled modular trailers, as well as mobile airport equipment such as baggage conveyors and de-icing vehicles.

A range of rotation solutions designed specifically for transportation applications

Discover the key Rollix slewing rings models designed for transport environments:

  • Triple-ring ball bearing slewing ring with dual rotation, specially designed for applications requiring multiple rotational movements and high precision.
  • Standard single-row ball slewing ring, with or without gear, offering robustness, reliability and versatility for a wide range of transport applications.
  • L-shaped preloaded bearing with square notches, designed for applications requiring high rigidity, excellent load-carrying capacity and high operational precision.

Engineering expertise dedicated to performance

Rollix supports its clients right from the design stage thanks to its advanced engineering capabilities:

  • Finite element analysis (FEA) to assess load distribution, structural deformations and stress concentrations.
  • Grinding of raceways for optimum precision.
  • Preloaded rings designed for applications subject to high loads.
  • Sealing systems specially designed for harsh environments.

Solutions designed to last

The new datasheet also highlights the technologies and services developed to maximise the service life of the equipment:

  • Integrated or centralised automatic lubrication solutions.
  • A selection of greases suited to the specific demands of railway applications, in particular to minimise the occurrence of false Brinelling.
  • A wide range of anti-corrosion surface treatments to meet the demands of the most challenging environments.
  • Expertise and refurbishment services to support facilities throughout their life cycle.

A development partner for your mobility projects

Beyond simply supplying components, Rollix positions itself as a true development partner. Thanks to its flexibility, its global industrial organisation and its ability to respond quickly, the company supports its customers in securing their supply chains and ensuring the success of their projects on an international scale.
