Railway applications - Wheelsets and bogies - Axles - Product requirements
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of axles for use on European networks.
It defines characteristics of forged or rolled solid and hollow axles, made from vacuum-degassed steel grade
EA1N1 that is the most commonly used grade on European networks. For hollow axles, this standard applies
only to those that are manufactured by machining of a hole in a forged or rolled solid axle
In addition, the particular characteristics for axles in grade EA1T1 and EA4T1 are given in Annex A.
Two categories of axle are defined, category 1 and category 2. Generally, category 1 is chosen when the
operational speed is higher than 200 km/h.
This standard is applicable to axles that are designed in accordance with the requirements of EN 13103 and
EN 13104.
NOTE Different values for some characteristics may be agreed if a particular process of fabrication (e.g. cold rolling,
shot peening) has an influence on them.

Overview
SIST EN 13261:2009/kFprA1:2010 is a critical European standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that specifies product requirements for axles used in railway applications, particularly for wheelsets and bogies on European rail networks. This standard ensures the safety, reliability, and interoperability of railway rolling stock by defining the essential characteristics of railway axles made from vacuum-degassed steel grade EA1N1, the predominant grade used across Europe.
Designed to support the operational demands of modern railway systems, SIST EN 13261:2009/kFprA1:2010 addresses forged or rolled solid and hollow axles, the latter manufactured by machining a hole into a solid axle. It also includes specifications for axles of grades EA1T1 and EA4T1, outlined in its annex, catering to different performance requirements and applications.
Key Topics
Axle Material and Manufacture
The standard specifies the use of vacuum-degassed steel grade EA1N1 as the main material, ensuring high durability and fatigue resistance. Hollow axles apply only when machined from solid axles, maintaining high structural integrity.Axle Categories
EN 13261 defines two axle categories-Category 1 and Category 2. Category 1 axles are generally selected for applications where operational speeds exceed 200 km/h, reflecting stricter material and design criteria to support high-speed railway services.Design Compliance
Axles covered under this standard must be designed following EN 13103 and EN 13104, which dictate rolling stock wheelset and bogie design requirements, ensuring consistency in the integration and performance of these critical components.Influence of Manufacturing Processes
The standard acknowledges that specific manufacturing methods such as cold rolling or shot peening may affect characteristic values. Stakeholders can negotiate different values where particular fabrication processes have a measurable impact on axle properties.Regulatory Alignment
SIST EN 13261:2009/kFprA1:2010 supports compliance with the European Union Directive 2008/57/EC related to the interoperability of the trans-European railway system. It corresponds to essential safety and technical requirements within this regulatory framework.
Applications
Railway Wheelsets and Bogies
The standard is specifically designed for specifying axles in wheelsets and bogies used in passenger and freight trains, ensuring mechanical reliability and safety across diverse rail infrastructures.High-Speed Rail Vehicles
Axle Category 1 axles are particularly relevant for high-speed trains operating above 200 km/h, where demands on axle strength and fatigue life are significantly higher.Freight Wagons and Locomotives
EN 13261 axles are applied to freight wagons and locomotives, contributing to safe load-bearing and dynamic stability under varying operational conditions.Railway Network Interoperability
By following EN 13261, manufacturers and railway operators guarantee interoperability within European rail networks, facilitating cross-border train operations without compromising safety or performance.
Related Standards
EN 13103 & EN 13104
These standards define design requirements for rolling stock wheelsets and bogies, with EN 13261 axles designed to be fully compliant with their criteria for structural integrity and performance.EU Directive 2008/57/EC
EN 13261 aligns with the essential requirements of this European directive on railway interoperability, supporting safe and consistent operation across member states.Related TSI Standards
The standard complements Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) such as HS RST TSI (High-Speed Rolling Stock), CR TSI (Conventional Rolling Stock Freight Wagons), and Passenger Rolling Stock TSIs, underpinning the regulatory framework for rolling stock components.
