(Main)Railway applications - Slack adjuster
Railway applications - Slack adjuster
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 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) 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".
Bahnanwendungen - Gestängesteller
Diese Europäische Norm enthält grundlegende Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, Fertigung und Typprüfungen von Gestängestellern.
ANMERKUNG 1 Diese Anforderungen können nicht so detailliert beschrieben werden, dass eine gute Bearbeitung oder fachgerechte Herstellung sichergestellt ist. Jeder Lieferant ist deshalb dafür verantwortlich, jeden notwendigen Schritt zu unternehmen, um die Qualität der Bearbeitung und Herstellung in Übereinstimmung mit allgemein anerkannten Regeln der Technik sicherzustellen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für in beide Richtungen wirkende Gestängesteller zur Aufrechterhaltung des Spiels zwischen Bremsklotzsohle und der Lauffläche des Rades von klotzgebremsten Fahrzeugen mit konventionellen Bremszylindern und -gestänge, ungeachtet der Spurweite.
ANMERKUNG 2 Der bei der UIC für diese Vorrichtung verwendete Begriff lautet "Bremsgestängesteller".
Applications ferroviaires - Régleur de timonerie
La présente norme européenne établit les principes généraux pour la conception, la fabrication et les essais de type des régleurs de timoneries.
NOTE 1 Ces exigences ne peuvent être décrites de façon suffisamment détaillée pour garantir une bonne qualité d'exécution ou une fabrication correcte. Chaque fabricant a, par conséquent, la responsabilité de prendre toutes les mesures nécessaires pour s’assurer que la qualité d'exécution et la fabrication soient conformes aux règles de l’art.
Le présent document s'applique aux régleurs de timonerie à double effet conçus pour maintenir automatiquement à une valeur constante le jeu entre la semelle (sabot) et le bandage (roue) des véhicules dotés de freins à sabot avec cylindre et timonerie de frein conventionnels, quel que soit l'écartement des voies.
NOTE 2 Le terme utilisé pour cet appareil par l'UIC est " régleurs de timoneries de frein".
Železniške naprave - Regulator zavornega vzvodja
Ta evropski standard vzpostavlja splošna načela za oblikovanje, izdelavo in tipsko preskušanje regulatorjev zavornega vzvodja.
OPOMBA 1: teh zahtev ni mogoče napisati dovolj podrobno, da se zagotovi dobro kakovost izvedbe ali pravilno izdelavo. Zato je vsak proizvajalec odgovoren za sprejetje vseh potrebnih ukrepov, da se zagotovi kakovost izvedbe in izdelave, ki je v skladu z dobro inženirsko prakso.
Uporablja se za dvojno delujoče regulatorje zavornega vzvodja, ki so zasnovani za nadzor prostora med ploščico (okovje) in tekalnim profilom (kolo) na vozilih z zaviranjem prek tekalnega profila z običajnimi zavornimi cilindri in drogovjem, brez upoštevanja profilnih tirnic.
OPOMBA 2: izraz, ki ga za to napravo uporablja Mednarodna železniška zveza (UIC), je »regulator zavornega drogovja«.

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 normatively 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 conditions - Part 3: Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities - Section 5: Ground vehicle installations EN 61373, Railway applications — Rolling stock equipment — Shock and vibration tests (IEC 61373) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and 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 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 between 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 SIST EN 16241:2014+A1:2017
EN 16241:2014+A1:2016 (E) 6 3.5 pay out increase in length of the brake rigging caused by the operation of the slack adjuster 4 Design and 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 pollution 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 setting 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 block 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 correct 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 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. SIST EN 16241:2014+A1:2017
EN 16241:2014+A1:2016 (E) 7 4.1.5 Shock and Vibration 4.1.5.1 Shock Slack 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. 4.1.5.2 Vibration Slack adjusters 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 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 Space 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 130 kN.
