Wheels and Axles



Sperling Railway Services, Inc. offers a wide variety of M of W wheels, axles, and assemblies.

All of our wheels are machined to an AAR profile using drop forged blanks that are made from American steel. Wheels are typically 16" diameter with flame hardened tread and flange for exceptional wear resistance. Smaller wheels and custom profiles are available. 

Our axles are manufactured using solid CR1045 blanks to accommodate rail gauge from 36" up to 72" and available in diameters from 1-15/16" up to 3-15/16". 

Axle assemblies include 2 or 4 bolt pillow block roller bearings, spacers between the wheel and bearing to insure that the axle does not shift, and sprockets of varying sizes.
