Wheel Tyres

High quality seamlessly forged wheel tyres for rolling stock

Being critical for both safety and operational cost of rolling stock, the quality of wheels and tyres is considered of great importance by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and railway operators worldwide. Naledi Europe adds value by delivering high quality wheel tyres at the highest service levels for both OEM and MRO clients.

Our wheel tyres are used worldwide and renowned for their reliability and durability. Their excellent metallurgic properties minimise wear-and-tear of the tyre and the infrastructure it runs on. The properties can even be customised for clients to meet specific applications and operating conditions that allow the TCO to be lowered significantly.

Resilient Wheels

Well attuned combinations of wheel tyres and elastomers

The mileage and overall performance of resilient wheels is strongly influenced by the quality of the wheel tyre and the elastomer product it is fitted with. To reduce transmission of vibration originating from the wheel-track contact surface, a well attuned combination of wheel tyres and rubber parts is of great importance for overall performance of the wheel and the need for maintenance. As resilient wheels also reduce noise emission and significantly improve passenger comfort, they are a crucial component for light rail applications.

We engineer cost-efficient elastomer products that, when combined with our high quality wheel tyres, often outperform the competition in terms of vibration isolation, comfort and longevity. Our clients benefit from our flexibility and ability to keep strategic stock-levels of complete sets of wheel tyres and rubber components made of natural or synthetic rubber.

Resilient Wheel Kits

Complete wheel component kits for resilient wheels

Resilient wheel kits typically consist of the center wheel, rubber components, the wheel tyre and clamping ring. As our wheel tyres and rubber components are best used in combination for optimum performance, we engineer and deliver complete resilient wheel kits according to specific requirements of both OEM and MRO clients. The properties of all components can be customised for clients to meet specific applications and operating conditions.

Our strategic stock levels of complete, client-specific resilient wheel kits enable us to provide maximum flexibility and Just-In-Time deliveries. Maintenance cost is significantly reduced by seamlessly aligning the kit with the client’s internal processes, while ensuring availability and operational continuity.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Non-Destructive Testing, inspection and analysis services

Our Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and inspection services enable clients to ensure the integrity and reliability of critical components. Our on-site inspections save time and money during evaluation, troubleshooting or researching components that our clients need to rely on. Our NDT service methods comply with a variety of standards and can be adapted to meet clients-specific requirements. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to test a wide range of metallic, composite and even elastomeric materials in our own facilities or on-site. Analysis of the acquired data with advanced software allows the detection of anomalies (e.g. in product batches) and generation of measurement reports.

Supply Chain Solutions

Seamless integration and alignment with your internal processes

The business success of our clients depends on more than just the high quality of the products that we engineer and supply. Our clever supply chain processes ensure that your products are available in the desired condition, packaging and in time. We offer flexibility through a client-specific and process-driven approach to deliver measurable business value. Our strategic stock levels, flexible logistics and custom transportation solutions for goods enable our clients to be more efficient, while ensuring operational continuity.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Validation through structural, fatigue and fracture analysis

Our in-house Finite Element Analysis (FEA) capabilities allow the design of a component to be validated through computer software even before being produced and deployed in trial projects. This saves our clients cost and time and improves quality and applicability. Structural, fatigue and fracture analysis ensure that the component will meet client-specific requirements. The outcome of our FEA services is documented in comprehensive reports and visualizations and often leads to further product or design improvements as well.
