RAILWAY AGE, JULY 2023 ISSUE: Wayside or onboard, methods and materials vary, but they all have the same objectives. Lubrication and its high-tech equivalent, friction management, are important ...

MxV RAIL R&D, RAILWAY AGE MAY 2023 ISSUE: Hollow wear is a typical form of wheel wear often measured and reported by wayside wheel profile detector (WPD) systems that allow the monitoring of hollow ...

High-speed train wheel dynamics and wear analysis is an essential field focused on understanding the mechanisms that lead to irregular wear patterns, particularly polygonal wear, on train wheels. This ...

The system is designed for the contactless automatic measurement of geometrical parameters of railway wheels and uses a combination of 2D laser scanners that are mounted wayside in the track area. The ...

A train wheel isn't just a means of transportation; it's also a testament to a multi-million dollar investment. Let's find out how much a train wheel costs to make and how strong it is. Railways are ...

Managing friction at the wheel-rail interface is one of the top priorities for railway operators. An effective friction management system can reduce noise and vibration while simaltaneously improving ...
