In today’s growing urban environments, reducing noise, enhancing passenger comfort, and improving operational efficiency are more important than ever. Our high-performance resilient wheels for light rail vehicles (LRVs) are engineered to meet these challenges—delivering quieter, smoother, and more sustainable urban transit solutions.
Resilient wheels consist of a forged tire, cast wheel center, and high-strength bolts, assembled into an integrated yet elastic structure. An advanced rubber damping element is compressed between the inner and outer rims, providing exceptional shock absorption and vibration isolation. This innovative design significantly lowers rolling noise, decreases wheel-rail wear, and extends the lifespan of both the vehicle and track infrastructure.
Noise Reduction: Perfect for densely populated areas, our wheels reduce vehicle noise by 10–15 decibels—making urban rail transit noticeably quieter.
Vibration Dampening: Achieve 50–70% lower vibration levels, ensuring a smoother ride and reducing structural stress on trains and tracks.
Long Service Life: Designed for durability, the rubber damping elements offer a service life of over 10 years with minimal maintenance.
Easy Retrofit & Compatibility: Featuring a modular design, our wheels are fully compatible with standard steel wheels—allowing easy replacement on both new and existing rail lines.
Eco-Friendly Operation: Contribute to greener cities with reduced noise pollution, longer infrastructure life, and sustainable manufacturing processes.
Our resilient wheels utilize a globally proven block-type compression and shear composite rubber structure. Optimized metal and rubber components provide superior load-bearing capacity, reliability, and performance under various operating conditions—including speeds of 80–160 km/h.
