░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Test facilities ➜ 04. TEST AND MEASUREMENT Quality Assurance Routine testing Our quality assurance monitors compliance with legal requirements (standards) and technical specifications. At EPHY-MESS each article undergoes tests to control e.g. dimension, tension, pressure, tightness, functionality, insulation and dielectric strength at the final inspection section of the quality department. In addition in the course of its compliance with standards, each sensor has to fulfill an optical inspection as well as in some cases additionally mechanical testing. The system-optimized, automated...

with 45° cable output straight cable output with O-ring with countersunk screws standard versions Temperature sensors The temperature sensors are used worldwide in high-speed trains, freight and regional trains or metros and trams. They monitor the temperature of: • traction motors • gears • wheel-set bearings • switching cabinets special versions The temperature sensors can be widely combined to create customized sensors. Each sensor consists of a housing with measuring element, a wiring and, if needed, a plug connection with tension release. Choice of housing type During operation the sensor...

Cable connections and connectors are an important interface between sensors and other assemblies, responsible for safe transmission of sensor signals. Depending on the application, extreme demands are placed on both components, which are installed in the underfloor area of rail vehicles. Choice of supply lines and cable connections Choice of connection plugs Application of Railway Sensors EPHY-MESS utilizes shielded, special heavy duty hose cables. This connection type meets the requirements of rolling stock applications which rely heavily on mechanical, chemical and thermal stability. For applications...

Sensors for switching cabinets Because of the multiple combinations of different sensors, basis leads and housing types, our temperature sensors can be configured to fit any installation situation. Here we have summarized the most common installation locations and matching sensor solutions. Speed sensors Speed and temperature detection on the bogie During train operation, bogies are subject to extreme loads. High temperatures occur on some components such as bearings or wheelsets. Unwanted heating leads to a loss of function of grease, which could lead to bearing damage or uneven axle pressures...
