Railway applications - Track - Switches and crossings - Part 2: Requirements for geometric design
This part of this European Standard covers the following subjects:
- geometric design principles for wheel guidance;
- definition of basic limits of supply;
- applied forces and their adequate support;
- tolerance levels.
These are illustrated herein by application to a turnout. The main switch and crossing components are represented in turnouts and the principles used in turnouts apply equally to more complex layouts.
Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Weichen und Kreuzungen - Teil 2: Anforderungen an den technischen Entwurf
Diese Europäische Norm umfasst folgende Bereiche:
¾ geometrische Konstruktionsgrundsätze für die Radführung;
¾ Festlegung des wesentlichen Lieferumfangs;
¾ auftretende Kräfte und ihr entsprechendes Abfangen;
¾ Toleranzmaßstäbe.
Diese werden anhand einer Weiche dargestellt. Die Grundsätze, die für Weichen angewandt werden, sind gleichermaßen auf umfangreichere Weichenanlagen anwendbar.
Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Appareil de voie - Partie 2: Exigences pour la conception géométrique
Cette partie de l'EN 13232 couvre les sujets suivants :
- principes de conception géométrique pour le guidage des roues ;
- définition des limites essentielles pour la fourniture ;
- forces appliquées et leur support adéquat ;
- niveaux des tolérances.
Ces sujets sont illustrés par des applications à un branchement. Les principaux composants des appareils de voie sont représentés dans des branchements. Les principes appliqués dans les branchements sont également applicables dans les assemblages plus complexes.
