in general, two sensors in the loaded zone of both axleboxes, aligned centrally above the bearing rows with typical positions shown in Figure A.2 for an axlebox with two bearings and in Figure A.3 for an axlebox with one bearing; 2)
in the scanning zone of the hot box detectors (HBD), by a sensor in direct contact with the surface of the body as indicated in Figure A.4 (a non-contacting temperature sensor – measuring in the same zone – shall be used only in case there are no suitable surfaces to attach a sensor); 3)
of the ambient air stream which is directed at the axle boxes, measured at the outlet of the cooling fans. It shall be measured for both axle boxes (see Figure A.1). 6.2.2 Test parameters 6.2.2.1 General The test parameters will be defined on the basis of the operating conditions of the vehicles to be equipped with these axle boxes and documented in accordance with Clause 4. The following test parameters are required, agreed and documented before the test and presented in the test report: a) reference vertical load 0F (the axle load), in newtons; b) wheel diameter at the limit of wear mind, in metres; c) vehicle speed limit maxν, in kilometres per hour; d) pre-test procedure; e) test cycle and cumulative test distance, in kilometres; f) original grease quantity and, if required, re-lubrication interval and grease quantity. If deviations from the test parameters in A.4 and A.6 are agreed in order to simulate special operating conditions, this shall be indicated in the test report. 6.2.2.2 Rotational speed The maximum rotational speed, maintained most of the time during the test, is that of a wheelset on which the wheels are at their limit of wear and where the rotational speed is derived from the vehicle speed limit, increased with a safety margin of 10 %. The resulting rotational speed is the nominal test speed, n, in revolutions per minute. The nominal speed in kilometres per hour is designatednν. minmax6110dvn= (1)
6.2.2.3 Radial and axial forces The external forces are applied to each axlebox inducing forces on the rolling bearings, simulating as closely as possible the distribution of forces from the primary suspension. There shall be a constant radial force and an alternating axial force. Based on the load data specified in accordance with Clause 4, the values of radial and axial forces shall be calculated as defined in A.4 and the cycle of application of the axial load as defined in A.6. The axial force shall not be applied when the test speed is less than 20 % of the nominal test speed. 6.2.2.4 Air cooling An air cooling system shall provide an air speed of 8 m/s to 10 m/s measured close to the axleboxes, with this average value taken from several points across each axlebox in the area impinged by the air stream. This cooling is maintained constant when the test is running, however not during the stops. An air temperature of 20 °C is recommended. 6.3 Carrying out the test 6.3.1 General Unless otherwise agreed and documented in accordance with Clause 4, the test parameters, speeds and forces shall be those in 6.2.2, A.4, A.5 and A.6. 6.3.2 Pre-test Before running the performance test, a pre-test shall be run. The objective of this test is to observe the thermal behaviour of the bearings and to redistribute the grease. The pre-test is illustrated in A.6. It consists of four cycles, each made up of two elementary trips, one in each rotational direction. The speeds are 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 % of the nominal test speed, respectively. The radial force shall be maintained during the test; the axial force is applied as agreed, e.g. 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 % of the calculated nominal axial force. Each elementary trip is made up of a speed increase, a constant speed, a slowing down and a stop. The distance of each elementary trip is not predetermined; when the temperatures have stabilized – at least two hours within a 5 ° range – the trip is completed. 6.3.3 Performance testing The test consists in repeating identical cycles at the nominal test speed to a specified cumulative distance. A cycle consists of two elementary trips, one for each direction of rotation, separated by a short stop and composed of a starting period, a period of constant maximum speed and a slowing down period to stop. The stop period may be prolonged if required.
