Bogie test stand

Bogie test stand

The Bogie test bench is designed for static load tests of railway bogies and for the measurement of the load exerted by each wheel on the rail. The computer system allows for recording the data and regulating the rail vehicle suspension as required, in order to minimise the differences between the load exerted by each wheel of the bogie. The press is produced for both passengers and freight wagons.

Components:
  • Closed steel construction with rails (version of the  test stand can be installed in a pit or leveled with  the workshop floor),
  • Wheel load measuring system in rails,
  • Hydraulic unit,
  • Electrical cabinet with control panel, PLC controller,  laptop or built-in computer with a database and  printer,
  • Customized analysis software ASCO RAIL.
     
Features:
  • Testing of the bogie in manual or automatic mode,
  • Load applied, synchronous or independent,
  • Measurement of each wheel load on rails, variance of the wheel load,
  • Measurement of the bogie height from the top of the rail,
  • Calculation of shim plates for primary suspension and secondary suspension,
  • Secondary air suspension leakage test - option,
  • Wheel diameter, back to back wheel measurement measured – option,
  • Measurement reports as PDF or measurement files.
