Abstract

The TBRB 01 (Testing Bench for Railway Bearings) is designed for testing axleboxes in accordance with EN 12082:2017+A1:2021 Railway applications- Axleboxes- Performance Testing. The subject of the test is a structural group consisting of a housing body, rolling bearings, in this case, cylindrical roller bearings, seals, and usually a grease lubricant. A preliminary test is carried out on such a design group basically run-in of the bearings is carried out. The preliminary test consists of loading the bearings with a radial force and successively loading the bearings with an axial force and speed. Subsequently, a performance test is performed during which the bearings are loaded according to the designed parameters and standards. During the test, temperatures, loading forces, rotational speeds, air velocity on the axleboxes, etc. are checked. These values are recorded and evaluated in the test equipment’s hardware and software. The bearings are subjected to thermal, mechanical, and visual criteria in accordance with the standard. The lubricant is analyzed for the content of selected metals according to the bearing design.
