15、 of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject

BS EN 16241:2014EN 16241:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard establishes general principles for designing, manufacturing and type testing slack adjusters. NOTE 1 These requirements cannot be written in sufficient detail to ensure good workmanship or proper

20、construction. Each manufacturer is therefore responsible for taking every necessary step to make sure that the quality of workmanship and construction is such as to ensure accordance with good engineering practice. It is applicable to double acting slack adjusters designed to control the block (shoe

21、) to tread (wheel) clearance of tread braked vehicles with conventional brake cylinders and rigging, without taking the track-gauge into consideration. NOTE 2 The term used for this device by UIC is “Brake rigging adjuster”. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are no

22、rmatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 60721-3-5:1997, Classification of environmental conditio

24、 definitions apply. 3.1 tread surface of a monobloc wheel or of a separate tread on which the brake block rubs 3.2 slack adjuster device to compensate for wear of brake shoes, wheel treads, and brake rigging pivots to maintain a nominal block to tread clearance Note 1 to entry: These slack adjusters

25、 are fitted separately in the brake rigging as independent devices. These slack adjusters are sometimes referred to as regulators. 3.3 double acting works in two directions to take up excessive clearance between the brake block and tread or pay out to allow the nominal clearance to be restored betwe

26、en the brake block and tread where this is reduced 3.4 take up reduction in the length of the brake rigging caused by the operation of the slack adjuster 3.5 pay out increase in length of the brake rigging caused by the operation of the slack adjuster BS EN 16241:2014EN 16241:2014 (E) 6 4 Design and

27、 manufacture 4.1 Requirements 4.1.1 General Slack adjusters shall be able to operate in the brake rigging of railway rolling stock. Slack adjusters shall be able to be mounted in both exposed and protected locations and function correctly in normal conditions of operation. The impact of direct pollu

28、tion and shocks linked to loading and unloading of vehicles are excluded from this European Standard. 4.1.2 Maintenance of block to tread clearance Slack adjusters shall operate to maintain a set block to tread clearance within a tolerance of 2 mm. The block to tread clearance is a function of the s

29、etting of the slack adjuster control dimension “A” which is chosen to provide the required block to wheel clearance when fitted to a vehicle. Examples of installations are shown in Figure 1. This is tested in accordance with 6.3.3.1. Figure 1 4.1.3 Take up Slack adjusters shall take up excessive blo

30、ck to tread clearance in a minimum number of cycles of the brake (application and release), but this shall not be more than 3 cycles. This requirement is tested in accordance with 6.3.3.2. 4.1.4 Pay out Slack adjusters shall pay out, if the block to tread clearance is insufficient, to restore the co

31、rrect block to tread clearance. This situation may come about due to a change in the vehicles laden state. This pay out shall not increase the distance between brake block and wheel when releasing after the first brake application when the insufficient block to tread clearance is detected, but only

32、after the release following the second brake application if the distance remains insufficient. This is to prevent the clearance being increased due to the presence of ice, snow or other foreign bodies. This requirement is tested in accordance with 6.3.3.3. 4.1.5 Shock and Vibration 4.1.5.1 Shock Sla

33、ck adjusters shall not take up or pay out when subjected to longitudinal shocks in accordance with EN 61373 for body mounted equipment with one level of suspension, category 2. This requirement is tested in accordance with 6.3.3.4.1. BS EN 16241:2014EN 16241:2014 (E) 7 4.1.5.2 Vibration Slack adjust

34、ers shall not take up or pay out when subjected to vibrations in accordance with EN 61373 category 2, for body mounted equipment with one level of suspension. This requirement is tested in accordance with 6.3.3.4.2. 4.1.5.3 Compliance of existing designs Should existing designs of slack adjuster be

35、subject to the requirements of this standard, compliance with the shock and vibration requirements of this clause can be demonstrated by the documentary evidence of 10 years satisfactory service experience with a minimum of 3 operators, each with a minimum of 500 slack adjusters in service. 4.1.6 Sp

36、ace envelope Slack adjusters which act to reduce or extend the length of an active member (rod that takes the braking loads) in the brake rigging shall fit within the space envelope of Figure 2 where their load (force) capability is up to 75 kN and Figure 3 where it is greater than 75 kN and up to 1

37、30 kN.

This requirement is tested in accordance wi

41、th 6.3.5. 4.2 Service life A life test shall be carried out on the slack adjuster to demonstrate it is fit for service on railway vehicles and to verify the maintenance requirements for the operational design life so these can be taken into account for the actual service life. This life test shall b

42、e carried out at loads between 35 kN and the maximum rated load, spanning the full range of adjustment. This requirement is tested in accordance with 6.3.6. BS EN 16241:2014EN 16241:2014 (E) 10 4.3 Ambient temperature Slack adjusters shall be able to operate within the temperature range from 40 C to

43、 +70 C external air temperature. This requirement is tested in accordance with 6.3.4. 4.4 Other environmental conditions 4.4.1 General The following environmental conditions shall be considered in the design of the slack adjuster. It shall be demonstrated that these environmental conditions have bee

44、n taken into account in the design of the slack adjuster. It is sufficient for the supplier to make a declaration of conformity stating how the environmental conditions in the following clauses have been taken into account. If not specifically required to be tested as part of the type testing requir

45、ements in Clause 6 of this document, suitable tests and/or design assessments considering the effect of the following environmental conditions on the slack adjuster, shall be used in the development/design proving of the device, prior to type testing. 4.4.2 Humidity The following external humidity l

46、evels shall be considered: yearly average: 75 % relative humidity; on 30 d in the year continuously: between 75 % and 95 % relative humidity; on the other days occasionally: between 95 % and 100 % relative humidity; maximum absolute humidity: 30 g/m3occurring in tunnels. An operationally caused infr

47、equent and slight moisture condensation shall not lead to any malfunction or failure. At cooled surfaces, 100 % relative humidity can occur causing condensation on parts of equipment; this shall not lead to any malfunction or failure. Sudden changes of the air temperature local to the vehicle, with

48、a rate of 3 K/s and maximum variation of 40 K, can cause condensation of water on parts of equipment; these conditions, particularly occurring when entering or leaving a tunnel, shall not lead to any malfunction or failure of the equipment. NOTE Reference to EN 50125-1. 4.4.3 Rain Rain rate of 6 mm/

49、min shall be taken into account. The effect of rain shall be considered depending on the possible equipment installation together with wind and vehicle movement. NOTE Reference to EN 50125-1. 4.4.4 Snow, ice and hail Consideration shall be given to the effect of all kinds of snow, ice and hail. The maximum diameter of hailstones shall be taken as 15 mm, larger diameter can occur exceptionally. The effect of snow, ice and hail shall be considered depending on the equipment installation together with wind and vehicle movement. BS EN 16241:2014EN 1624
