    Bogie Test Machine and Spring Test Machine

    The Bogie Test machine is designed to test complete


    bogies to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed
    across all four wheels. Installed in a pit beneath the rails,
    the machine allows for direct loading and unloading
    of bogies and can also be configured to allow trains
    to pass through when not in use.

    Load cells beneath each wheel calculate the loading,


    and, should adjustment be necessary, hydraulic rams
    can lift the bogie to facilitate shimming.

    The Atlas Rail Bogie Spring Tester has been designed to either work with
    the Bogie Test Machine or as an independent machine., an d can be used
    to handle multipke types of spring. When used in conjunction with the
    Test Bench the same services can be utilised for both machines.

    The machine incorporates a linear transducer which is used to measure


    the spring free length. Measurements taken in this test are used to
    determine the size of any shims required.

    The machine consists of two movable bolsters which are guided by linear
    bearings running on four shafts. Once the spring is positioned between the
    bolsters a hydraulic cylinder applies the required force down on the top bolster
    and a load of up to 20kN applied to measure the spring compression.
    While each spring is loaded the force is measured using a load cell which is
    mounted under the bottom bolster. This measurement is displayed on the
    operator panel.
