Railway applications - Wheelsets and bogies - Wheels - Wheels tread

This European Standard defines the tread profiles of wheels with a diameter greater than or equal to 330 mm used on vehicles running on European standard gauge track to fulfil interoperability requirements.  These profiles apply to new wheels, whether free-standing or assembled as wheelsets, as well as to wheels that require reprofiling during maintenance.
Any profile that does not conform to this standard shall only be used following agreement between the train operator and the infrastructure manager.

Bahnanwendungen - Radsätze und Drehgestelle - Räder - Radprofile

Die vorliegende Europäische Norm definiert die Laufprofile für Räder mit einem Durchmesser größer oder gleich 330 mm, die für Ausrüstungen verwendet werden, die auf normalen europäischen Gleisen verkehren, um die Interoperabilität abzusichern. Diese Profile werden sowohl für neue Räder, als Einzelteile geliefert oder zu Radsätzen montiert, als auch für zu reprofilierende Räder im Rahmen der Instandhaltung angewendet.
Jedes Profil, das nicht konform zu dieser Norm ist, kann nur nach Vereinbarung zwischen dem Betreiber und dem Infrastrukturmanager angewandt werden.

Applications ferroviaires - Essieux montés et bogies - Roues - Profil de roulement

La présente Norme européenne définit les profils de roulement des roues de diamètre supérieur ou égal à 330 mm utilisées pour des matériels circulant sur voie normale européenne et qui permettent d'assurer l'interopérabilité. Ces profils s'appliquent aux roues neuves livrées sous forme de roues seules ou calées sur essieux montés, ainsi qu'aux roues devant subir un reprofilage en cours de maintenance.
Tout profil non conforme à la présente Norme fait l'objet d'un accord entre utilisateur et le gestionnaire d'infrastructure.

describes the rules, parameters and construction methods of the wheel tread profile; ¾ defines the geometry of the flange and reverse slope.
The thicknesses and height of the flange are determined by the railway undertaking or its representative in compliance with the normative documents in force;
¾ defines the co-ordinates and geometry of the following three reference tread profiles of the wheels and their reverse slope:
1/40th (reverse slope 15 %); ¾ S1002 (reverse slope 6,7 %, other value used 15 %) in conformity with UIC Leaflet 510-2; ¾ EPS (reverse slope 10 %) equivalent to profile P8 of the United Kingdom with a flange 30 mm thick. These three reference profiles are defined in Annexes B, C and D and represent original profiles from the time of their design, the flanges having been harmonized to a 32,5 mm flange thickness. ¾ defines the tolerances needed to achieve calibration control. All the dimensions in this standard are given in millimetres.

These profiles apply to new wheels, whether free-standing or assembled as wheelsets, as well as to wheels that require reprofiling during maintenance. Any profile that does not conform to this standard shall only be used following agreement between the train operator and the infrastructure manager. 2 Normative references None apply to this standard. 3 Definition of the tread profile The tread profile is shown in Figure 1.

4.1 Definition of the profiles The profiles comprise:
two zones H2 – S and S – D1, with fixed geometry; ¾ a connection zone D1 – C1, unique to each of them, to make a tangential connection at point C1; ¾ a zone C1 – B1 (either B1a, or B1b) unique to each of them. The co-ordinates are given in Annexes B, C and D for the three reference profiles including point D0; ¾ a zone B1 (either B1a or B1b) – A1 – I, comprising the reverse slope and chamfer, unique to each reference profile. The reverse slope shall be in the range 6,7 % to 15 %. 5 Construction method 5.1 Definition of the axes The Y axis is parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel with the positive values towards the external face of the wheel.
The Z axis is perpendicular to the latter with the positive values towards the outside of the wheel.
Their origin is at point D0, situated 70 mm from the internal face of the wheel. 5.2 Base profile The base profile is that obtained with a flange 32,5 mm thick and 28 mm high. All the others are developed from this fundamental profile. 5.3 Profile construction 5.3.1 Profile zone H2 – D1 (flange) The reference flange (dimensions, centres and radii)
