16-ton locomotive axles are critical components engineered to support and transmit the weight and driving forces of railway locomotives. Designed to endure high dynamic loads and harsh operating environments, these axles play a vital role in ensuring the stability, strength, and performance of rail vehicles.
Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel such as EA4T, 25CrMo4, or EN13261-compliant materials, the 16-ton axle is designed for heavy-duty locomotives, withstanding axle loads up to 16 metric tons per wheelset. These axles are precisely forged, heat-treated, and machined to meet stringent dimensional and mechanical standards.
Key Features:
-
Axle Load Capacity: 16 tons
-
Material Options: EA4T, 25CrMo4, AAR Grade F, or customized steel grades
-
Manufacturing Process: Forging, quenching & tempering, precision machining
-
Compliance: EN13261, AAR M-101, GOST, or customer-specific standards
-
Applications: Diesel and electric locomotives, heavy-haul railcars
Each axle undergoes rigorous ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), and mechanical property verification to ensure reliability and safety in high-speed or heavy-load operations.
