Method for thermal control of axle bearings during rail rolling-stock movement

Method for thermal control of axle bearings during rail rolling-stock movement

Method consists in conversion of IR radiation energy of thermal control objects - bearings and journal-boxes - into electric signals with presentation of intermediate results in the form of digital code characterising heating level of objects relative to ambient air temperature in standard units - ADC quanta. To improve reliability of evaluation of bearing and axle equipment condition in the whole it is proposed to calculate ADC quantum value from Plank integral formula in radiation density units according to results of calibration and testing of amplifier channels in autocontrol mode. Herewith, bearing (journal-box) temperature is determined by multiplying its heating in quanta by quantum value in radiation densities with regard to radiation density of running gears having ambient air temperature according to piecewise linear approximation polynom of Plank formula or according to precalculated charts of controlled objects radiation densities and their temperature correlation. These charts are stored in memory of microprocessor controller or automated workstation (AWS) computer of thermal control facilities.

Support ring of railway bearing

Support ring of railway bearing

In general, invention relates to antifriction bearings, namely, as per one design version to tapered roller bearings. A bearing assembly includes an outer bearing race (31), an inner bearing race (40), many rollers (44), an inner seal housing (56), an outer seal housing (54), a support ring (22) and an adhesive gasket (90). The outer race (31) is fitted by a raceway turned radially inside. The inner race (40) is mounted on a centre shaft (12). All the many rollers (44) are set between the raceway of the outer race (31) and the inner race (40). The inner seal housing (56) is attached to the inner race (40). The outer seal housing (54) is attached to the outer race (31) and is fitted by a leakproof casing running to the inner seal housing (56). The supporting ring (22) is attached to a fillet (18) of the centre shaft (12) and rests against the inner race (40). The supporting ring (22) comprises an annular boss (23) protruding outside in the axial direction and resting against the inner race (40). The supporting ring (22) and the inner race (40) form a gap radially outside the boss (23) with the adhesive gasket (90) set in the gap. The adhesive gasket (90) is set between the supporting ring (22) and the inner race (40). The adhesive gasket (90) serves for the attachment of the supporting ring (22) to the inner race (40). Method for forced fitting of the bearing assembly and the supporting ring on a shaft is proposed as well.
