Bogie and Spring Tester

The document summarizes two machines manufactured by Atlas Rail Pty Ltd for testing railway bogies and springs: [1] The Bogie Test Machine tests how weight is distributed across bogie wheels and can lift bogies for adjustment; [2] The Spring Test Machine applies up to 20kN of force to measure spring compression and determine any required shims. Both machines improve railway maintenance and safety.

Bogie Test Machine and Spring Test Machine

The Bogie Test machine is designed to test complete


bogies to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed
across all four wheels. Installed in a pit beneath the rails,
the machine allows for direct loading and unloading
of bogies and can also be configured to allow trains
to pass through when not in use.

Load cells beneath each wheel calculate the loading,


and, should adjustment be necessary, hydraulic rams
can lift the bogie to facilitate shimming.

The Atlas Rail Bogie Spring Tester has been designed to either work with
the Bogie Test Machine or as an independent machine., an d can be used
to handle multipke types of spring. When used in conjunction with the
Test Bench the same services can be utilised for both machines.

The machine incorporates a linear transducer which is used to measure


the spring free length. Measurements taken in this test are used to
determine the size of any shims required.

The machine consists of two movable bolsters which are guided by linear
bearings running on four shafts. Once the spring is positioned between the
bolsters a hydraulic cylinder applies the required force down on the top bolster
and a load of up to 20kN applied to measure the spring compression.
While each spring is loaded the force is measured using a load cell which is
mounted under the bottom bolster. This measurement is displayed on the
operator panel.
