Abstract

This document specifies the principles and methods for a rig performance test of the system of axlebox rolling bearing(s), housing, seal(s) and grease, required for reliable operation of trains on European networks. The necessary type and extent of testing are specified by the deployment procedure specified in EN 12082-2, with respect to design requirements on the axlebox and its components. This document covers a rig performance test, principles for a field test and a possible example for a water tightness test. Test parameters and minimum performance requirements for vehicles in operation on main lines are specified. Different test parameters and performance requirements may be selected for vehicles in operation on other networks (e.g. urban rail). This document is historically developed for outboard applications with rotating inner rings, but can be used for vehicles with inboard bearing arrangements with rotating inner rings.
