The Nolan Co.: Wheel/axle and bearing assemblies

The Nolan Co.’s wheel/axle and bearing assemblies are adaptable for use on push cars, trailers and similar maintenance-of-way applications.

The 74 Series assemblies come complete with one-piece tapered steel axle, two pillow block roller bearings, and two tapered bore, 16-inch or 20-inch cast ductile iron wheels. The 74 Series axle assemblies are available in insulated and non-insulated models.

The AATS Series stub axle assemblies are available in kits for one-inch diameter axle sizes. Each kit includes a cast wheel with bearings, a one-inch diameter axle, an axle tube, nylon insulating bushings, a washer and snap rings. Once the axle tube is welded to a cart frame, the one-inch axle, wheel with bearings, insulating bushings, washer and snap rings are easily assembled as a complete stub axle assembly, the company says.

Assemblies also are available with 20-inch wheels; wheels may be purchased separately. All models fit standard (56.5-inch) railroad track gauge. Models for special track gauges also are available.
