Siemens AG Austria, Rail Systems, Graz plant Today the bogies used in all areas of rail transport are highly developed and complex. To achieve cost-effective as well as smooth rail operations, the bogies have to be adjusted perfectly and fulfil a large number of important functions: • • • • • • • Derailment protection Minimisation of wear Reduction in noise development Reduction in dynamic forces Safeguarding of smooth running and comfort Optimisation of maintenance intervals Free replaceability of the bogies

© Volker Emersleben, Deutsche Bahn AG The principle of modern bogie testing A bogie test rig produces static test forces which simulate the weight of the rail car body. These test forces are introduced through the bogie via the wheels to the measurement equipment. Under load, the test rig calculates the static vertical wheel forces, a major input measurement parameter for optimum bogie adjustment using shims. Nowadays, they occupy a central position in production as well as the test process and are therefore often used for geometric monitoring measurement and adjustment tasks.

MULTIRAIL® BogieLoad Installation versions DB vehicle maintenance, Dessau plant An important criterion for test rig installation is a variable concept that can be ideally adapted to the workshop surroundings and production requirements. The Schenck Process MULTIRAIL® BogieLoad pro and MULTIRAIL® BogieLoad plus solutions minimise the forces that need to be absorbed by the foundations thanks to their closed frame design. Three versions are available for vertical arrangement of the test rig with respect to the zero level of the track in the shop floor.

Above-ground version The entire test rig is assembled on a suitable shop floor, which minimises the costs of foundations and preparatory time. This version is used mainly in workshops with crane feeding and average production throughput in highly automatic mode. Alstom Transport, Salzgitter plant Pit version The test rig is lowered fully into a special concrete foundation, making the bogies very accessible for inspection and maintenance work. This version is used mainly in volume production/testing with a high throughput and extensive additional measurement tasks. Siemens AG Austria, Rail...
