    摘要: A method and apparatus for collecting ultrasonic test data from a railway wheel with an ultrasonic testing apparatus is described. The railway wheel is supported by two drive rollers, each having an indentation which engages with and rotates the wheel. An indexing transducer moves across the rotating wheel, collecting ultrasonic test data while a fixed transducer correlates a reference position on the wheel to the collected test data. To maintain the accuracy of the reference position to the collected test data, it is desirable to maintain the rotational stability of the wheel, minimizing any dynamic instability caused by dimensional tolerances in the wheel. To mitigate instabilities resulting from dimensional tolerances, the indentation of the drive rollers, which engage and drive the flange of the wheel, is adjustable by the flexing design of the drive rollers to maintain frictional contact between the wheel and the drive roller. This allows the indentation to accommodate the varying dimensional tolerances of the wheel flange, mitigating the possibility of dynamic instability resulting from departure of the wheel flange from the indentation.

    摘要翻译: 描述了一种用超声波测试装置从铁路车轮收集超声波测试数据的方法和装置。 铁路车轮由两个驱动辊支撑,每个驱动辊具有与车轮接合并旋转的凹口。 分度传感器移动通过旋转轮,收集超声波测试数据,而固定传感器将车轮上的参考位置与收集的测试数据相关。 为了保持参考位置对所收集的测试数据的准确性,期望保持车轮的旋转稳定性,从而最小化由车轮中的尺寸公差引起的任何动态不稳定性。 为了减轻由尺寸公差引起的不稳定性,驱动辊的接合和驱动轮的凸缘的压痕可通过驱动辊的弯曲设计来调节,以保持车轮和驱动辊之间的摩擦接触。 这允许压痕适应车轮凸缘的变化的尺寸公差,从而减轻由轮缘从压痕偏离而引起的动态不稳定性的可能性。

    摘要: A brake beam wear liner for receiving a brake beam assembly includes a base wall extending between a rear end and front end. The base wall has opposite side edges. The base wall has a tapered thickness between the rear end and the front end with the base wall being thicker proximate to the rear end and being narrower proximate to the front end. The brake beam wear liner also includes side walls extending from the opposite side edges and flanges extending outward from the side walls generally opposite the base wall. The side walls and the base wall define an open ended trough configured to receive an end of the brake beam assembly.

    摘要: A novel two-piece backing ring assembly for a railcar axle is presented. The backing ring assembly has an annular body affixed to the fillet of the journal and a locking ring for further affixing the annular body into position on the journal. The locking ring has an inboard end affixed to the dust guard of the shaft and an outboard end for engaging a slot in the annular body. The locking ring assembly may be retrofitted to older generation railcar axles to increase the structural rigidity of the bearing assembly and minimize fretting wear caused by railcar axle deflection.

    摘要: Railcar monitoring utilizes instrumented, flexible pads supported within the truck pedestal jaws on the bearing adapters. The pads contain sensors for monitoring temperature pressure, shifting loads, truck hunting and the like and have circuitry for processing information received from the sensors and for processing and reporting departures of performance variables to a remote source. The system cyclically activates polling each pad on a car and communicates signals of critical departures and car identity to a remote source.
