摘要:
A support ring assembly for a railway axle having a support ring configured to be inserted between a rolling bearing and a collar of the railway axle, the support ring having an annular seat, a surface of a radially inner side wall fitted with a radial clearance over the collar and an end wall that abuts against the collar, an annular insert fitted into the seat by means of an annular shield and having an elastomeric annular element having at least two annular protuberances that engage with the collar, the annular element configured to engage with the collar so as to occupy the radial clearance.
摘要:
A railcar adapter for radially connecting a railcar body to a bearing. The railcar adapter includes an adapter body, and a top cover mounted onto an outer surface of the adapter body. The top cover is provided with at least one curved outer surface to be in direct radial contact with the railcar body.

A state monitoring device for a plate spring mounted on a railcar bogie is configured to monitor a state of the plate spring, the plate spring including fiber-reinforced resin containing electrically conductive reinforced fibers containing reinforced fibers extending in a longitudinal direction of the plate spring. The state monitoring device includes: an electrode pair provided at both width direction side end surfaces of the plate spring and sandwiching the plate spring, a width direction of the plate spring being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the plate spring and a thickness direction of the plate spring; and a measuring unit electrically connected to the electrode pair and configured to measure an electrical characteristic of the plate spring.
摘要:
A railroad car bearing adapter assembly configured to be employed in combination with a high warp restraint truck (with or without an auxiliary or original warp restraint system), and including a low profile thickness and relatively longitudinally narrow roller bearing adapter, a low profile adapter shear pad with a shear stiffness in a range of 85,000 lbs/in to 125,000 lbs/inch, and side wear pad that in combination total clearance in a range of 0.09 inches to 0.36 inches between the side frame thrust lugs and the adapter with the side wear pads. This overall combination reduces wheel wear and damage, reduces fuel consumption, reduces the need for railroad track repair, improves high speed stability and curving performance for both empty cars and loaded cars, provides more truck stability under a loaded car in shallow curves and while encountering certain perturbations, and provides optimum curving performance that enables the axles to better align with curves of relatively high degrees.
摘要:
A sensor device for monitoring a component, the sensor device providing a zinc alloy mounting element comprising a bracket and a bolt. The zinc alloy of the zinc alloy mounting element increases a rigidity of the mounting element, the zinc alloy having less than 5% aluminum by weight and less than 5% copper by weight; and at least one sensor coupled to the zinc alloy mounting element for mounting to the component of interest. The at least one sensor measures at least one condition parameter of the component.

A temperature sensor unit-equipped axle box device of a railcar bogie includes: an axle box accommodating a bearing supporting an axle; a temperature sensor unit attached to the axle box and configured to detect a temperature of an outer ring of the bearing; and an elastic body configured to bias the temperature sensor unit in such a direction that the temperature sensor unit is pressed against the outer ring. The elastic body is elastically deformable so as to follow displacement of the temperature sensor unit around a rotation axis of the bearing.
摘要:
A sensor device for monitoring a component of interest, including at least one sensor for measuring at least one parameter indicative of condition of the component of interest, signal processing device for processing the signals of the sensor, a housing for at least the signal processing device and a mounting feature for mounting the sensor device close to the component of interest. The mounting feature can include a bolt and bracket having a first portion including an opening for inserting the bolt in an insertion direction and a second portion with a surface parallel to the insertion direction configured to mount the housing.
摘要:
An axle of railway wheel sets and a corresponding method for the ultrasound inspection are described. A blind hole, coaxial to the axle and sized to accommodate an ultrasonic probe, is obtained in each end of the axle. Main holes are intended to accommodate the probe holder containing a plurality of ultrasonic transducers for the inspection of the axle from the inside of the hole. The main advantage is to facilitate the propagation of the ultrasounds without being subjected to the interference caused by the geometric discontinuities normally present at the ends of the axles thereby minimizing false positives in the readings of the echoes.
摘要:
A measurement system including: a radial external hole on a cover of a railway axle-box on the side of an edge of the cover facing towards a rolling bearing of the axle-box; a smaller axial hole made on the edge of the cover facing towards a ring of the bearing and opening in the radial hole; a cup-shaped body accommodated in the radial hole; a fork shaped spring integrally carried by a bottom wall of the cup-shaped body, projecting in front of the axial hole; a temperature probe slidingly accommodated within the axial hole and including a tubular element incorporating an electrical temperature sensor and an electric cable protruding from a first end of the tubular element accommodated within the cup-shaped body; and an abutting element removably coupled to the first end to cooperate with the spring, which pushes a second end of the probe out of the axial hole.
摘要:
A railway axle is described of the type in which a rolling element bearing is mounted within a seat defined between two members, a first of which rotates with respect to the second, and is provided, externally of the seat, with a sealing assembly adapted to protect respective rolling bodies of the bearing; an annular element of the sealing assembly is fixed for rotation with the rotating member of the axle and is provided with a plurality of permanently magnetized zones having substantially the same width circumferentially spaced from one another with substantially constant pitch; within the seat and close to the said annular element of the sealing assembly there is further provided a sensor carried by the fixed member of the axle and adapted to be activated by the transit past it of the said magnetized zones to generate a periodic signal having a frequency proportional to the number of these which transit past the sensor in unit time.
