EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 5 Introduction A test method is standardized, which is referred to in EN 12081. This European Standard standardizes a test method and acceptance criteria for the demand in EN 12081 for testing the mechanical stability of axlebox lubricating greases. It addresses the issue of mechanical stability of lubricating greases operating under severe conditions. All lubricants have three main functions – to form a lubricating film that separates rolling elements and raceways, to protect the bearings from corrosion and to give good longevity. For lubricating grease there is a further demand: the product needs to be mechanically stable in use. Currently several common lubricating grease shear stability tests are available to industry, but the procedure in this European Standard is the most severe. It has been available for many years and it is used to discriminate between lubricating greases of different stabilities.

EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method and sets the acceptance criteria for the determination of the mechanical stability of lubricating greases intended for the lubrication of axlebox bearings according to EN 12081. In the test, impacts are applied to the lubricating grease so that only very stable lubricating greases will perform acceptably. The method is used in a discrimination process for finding lubricating greases of such mechanical stability that they are considered accepted lubricating greases for more extensive performance tests according to EN 12082. For purposes of quality assurance and quality control, this test method is also used for batch testing of lubricating greases. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 7 4 Testing principle A typical type of railway axlebox with a labyrinth seal and two spherical roller bearings is packed with test lubricating grease. The axlebox axle is first rotated for 72 h at 500 r/min (52,4 rad/s) while the axlebox is subject to vibrational accelerations. The vibration is brought about by hitting the axlebox every second with a hammer with a falling height of 4,5 mm. The second part of the test continues in the same way for another
72 h, but the rotational speed of the axle is increased to 1 000 r/min (104,7 rad/s). The weight of lubricating grease lost from the axlebox is recorded as a measure of mechanical stability. 5 Reagents and materials Use only reagents of recognised analytical grades (e.g. white spirit according to BS 245 specification). 6 Apparatus1)))) The following V2F test rig and equipment are used in the test: a) test rig as described in Annex A and detailed in Annex B; b) lifting device suitable for supporting and manoeuvring the assembled axlebox (approximately 100 kg); c) spatula; d) balance; e) thermocouple. 7 Sampling The following measures shall be taken when taking samples: a) unless otherwise specified, samples shall be taken in accordance with one of the procedures specified in EN ISO 3170; b) laboratory samples shall be examined for homogeneity before taking the test portion. NOTE How lubricating grease samples are to be taken after the test procedure is described in 8.10; c) samples shall be stored at a temperature between 0 °C and 30 °C, for at least 24 h, before use. 8 Testing procedure 8.1 General The procedure is described assuming that the apparatus is disassembled. If this is not the case, then disassemble the apparatus and bearings, as described in 8.10 and 8.11, before proceeding.
1) Information about suitable equipment is available from SKF Quality Technology Centre, A-4400 Steyr, Austria. SIST EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009



EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 8 8.2 Preparation of the apparatus Make sure that the test rig is earthed and that the electrical wiring is correct. When starting the machine, carefully check that the eccentric cam rotates in the correct direction. 8.3 Washing procedure All parts of the axlebox shall be washed and thoroughly dried before any running test is carried out. White spirit or a similar non-aqueous solvent should be used for the washing and the parts may be dried using clean and dry compressed air. The bearings shall be disassembled before washing according to the method described in 8.11. 8.4 Assembly of the bearings The rollers shall be placed into the pockets in the two cage halves, with the exception of 12 rollers, 6 from each side of the bearing, i.e. 3 cage pockets are left empty on each side of each cage half to allow assembly. The cage halves and the guide ring are then placed over the inner ring. The inner ring assembly is fitted into the outer ring and swung out so that it is possible to press the remaining rollers into position. 8.5 Volume and distribution of the test lubricating grease A total volume of 1 370 cm3 lubricating grease shall be used for the test and this volume of lubricating grease is split up in 5 portions – 132 cm3, 174 cm3, 700 cm3, 174 cm3 and 190 cm3. These portions are to be prepared to an accuracy of ± 0,5 cm3. If the density of the lubricating grease is known, the weight of the lubricating grease instead of the volume can be used. NOTE Previous trials have proven that following the specified volumes is essential for the accuracy of the testing. 8.6 Assembly of the box The collar shall be pressed on the axle (Figure B.1, key 8). The first bearing (Figure B.1, key 6) is pressed on and the spacing ring (Figure B.1, key 5) mounted. The bearing is filled with 174 cm3 lubricating grease. This is done by applying the lubricating grease with a suitable spatula. The outer ring is swung out and about half of the lubricating grease volume is worked between the rollers. With the outer ring swung back into position, the rest of the lubricating grease is applied. The second bearing (Figure B.1, key 4) is then pressed on and 174 cm3 lubricating grease is applied in the same way as described for the first bearing. The fixing plate (Figure B.1, key 3) is placed into position and the bolts drawn tight to keep the bearings in place. A portion of the lubricating grease, 190 cm3, is placed behind the labyrinth grooves (Figure B.1, lubricating grease portion D). No lubricating grease is placed in the labyrinth grooves. Another portion of lubricating grease, 700 cm3, is placed against the spacing ring and the bearings (Figure B.1, lubricating grease portion C). The remainder of the lubricating grease, 132 cm3, is placed against the second bearing and fixing plate (Figure B.1, lubricating grease portion A). The axle assembly (i.e. axle fitted with bearings, etc.) is moved to a suitable workbench using the lifting device (see Clause 6, b)). The outer labyrinth seal/cover (Figure B.1, key 8), which is in two halves, is put into position and the two halves are bolted together. SIST EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009



EN 14865-2:2006+A1:2009 (E) 9 The axlebox housing (Figure B.1, key 2) is then placed over the axle assembly. Make sure that the pressure inside and outside the housing is levelled in order to avoid lubricating grease being pressed into the labyrinth seal. The housing unit is held together by 4 bolts and the assembly is completed by screwing in the end plug (Figure B.1, key 1). 8.7 Assembly of the machine The assembled axlebox shall be placed in the rig with the aid of the lifting device and bolted to the frame (Figure A.1, key 4) in the correctly established position. This fixing shall be carried out in such a way that the axlebox spatial position is consistently reproduced for every test. Care shall be taken that the axlebox,
