In 2007 we entered into a joint venture agreement with Amsted Rail Incorporated for the supply of Rail Road Products. Amsted Rail is the largest Rail Road undercarriage component manufacturer in the world. The formation of this joint venture enabled us to build a state of the art Bearing Plant that facilitates the refurbishing Specialized Bearings and assembly of new bearings. Our bearing facility and products carry Transnet’s unconditional approval, recording that to date we have not had any bearing failures or non conformances. This achievement is a direct result of our hands on approach coupled with lengthy experience and a well trained team. The roller bearing contains many individual and highly toleranced components. When properly applied to a qualified axle journal, it becomes a system whose function is to reliably carry the weight of the railcar and its cargo with minimal rolling resistance. There are both load carrying and non-load carrying components which comprise the bearing stack. Certain components of the bearing have been designed to carry the load. These components safely carry the weight of the railcar and its cargo with a minimum of rolling resistance. The non-load carrying components position the bearing laterally on the axle and provide the force necessary to achieve proper bearing clamp. Although they do not directly carry the weight of the railcar and its cargo, these components are critical to overall bearing performance. These components are sometimes called auxiliary components and complete the bearing stack.
