It covers high suspension types of MTB only and not high/low and low suspension type of MTB. This document also contains test methods and acceptance criteria for an MTB system. It identifies interfaces with electrical equipment, bogie, track and other brake systems. On the basis of the existing international and national standards, additional requirements are defined for: - conditions of application for the MTB system; - retardation and brake forces; - functional and design features; - strength requirements; - type, series and vehicle implementation tests. For design and calculation a “reference surface” is established.

Its action is obtained by friction due to the magnetic attractive force. The magnetic attractive force can be generated electrically or by permanent magnets. The MTB is installed into the bogie or running gear, if required, to complement the brake depending on the wheel/rail adhesion. In the bogie the magnets are installed between the wheels.

If the MTB is part of the emergency braking performance then it is subject to specific safety and reliability requirements with respect to its availability to be applied. In this situation the retardation rate can be included in the braked weight value/overall retardation of the vehicle. b) Brake application under low adhesion conditions or steep slopes: The MTB may be actuated at the driver’s discretion independently of the wheel/rail adhesion dependent brake.

EN 16207:2014 (E) 10 If MTB is on vehicles that are to be run through shunting areas, the system shall allow the inhibition of MTB and the clearance restrictions in accordance with EN 15273-1:2013, Figure C.4 shall be observed. NOTE 1 There is a risk that roll down humps, rail brakes and other shunting and retarding devices may contact MTBs particularly on track curves having a radius of R < 150 m. NOTE 2 Vehicles which by reason of their design are liable to sustain damage when crossing shunting humps will be marked with EN 15877-2:2013, Figure 76. Vehicles which are not designed for passing rail brakes will be marked with EN 15877-2:2013, Figure 58. 5 Design requirements 5.1 Space envelope to be observed by the MTB The position of the brake magnets above rail shall ensure a clearance which is sufficient under all operating configurations/conditions to prevent the magnets making contact with the rail if not activated (due to vibrations or suspension movements, independent of speed, even under extreme conditions with wheel wear and new brake magnets. The clearances shall take into account the lateral excursion and the vertical height position of the MTB when the vehicle is in the operating condition. The clearances of the vehicles to be observed are generally guided by the following provisions: a) The permissible clearances in accordance with EN 15273-1:2013, Figure C.4, including space "e", for the lower limitation of the vehicles shall not be exceeded by any parts of the MTB, neither in its rest nor in its working position. When the brake is in its working position, the magnets are centred on the rail, due to their magnetic force, as a consequence of which their gauge clearance only needs to be provided for the rest position of the brake. b) For the short time during the transition from its rest to its working position and vice versa gauge clearance shall be equated with its working position. c) In case space "e" should be used in working position and the magnets should contact with the track, e.g. when passing over switches, track or road crossings, their safe return to space "d" shall be ensured, without any functional impediment. d) When performing the clearance check, the following criteria shall be taken into account: 1) the wear condition of the wheels; 2) the condition of the pole shoes; 3) the suspension movements of the bogie. 5.2 Retardation force The retardation of the MTB depends on its magnetic attractive force on the rail, the magnet length applied, the material of its magnets and their condition during the braking process. The braking force produced by friction between the magnets and the rail results from the combined effect of the magnetic force applied and the coefficient of friction element/rail. For dimension and design purposes calculations shall be carried out in accordance with prEN 14531-2. The performance shall be verified by testing. SIST EN 16207:2014



EN 16207:2014 (E) 11 The MTB shall, whenever possible, reach its specified retardation rate under all environmental conditions that are typical for railway operation. It is permitted during winter control to use heating elements to reduce the build-up of ice on the pole shoes. The magnetic attractive force of the MTB on to the rail head shall be defined in the technical documents of the manufacturer and is expressed and measured in accordance with the methods described in 9.1.2. 5.3 Guidance of the activated magnet when applied to the rails As a rule, each magnet or both magnets jointly, arranged opposite each other, shall have an optimum contact with the rail head when activated. For this purpose, the MTB shall be provided with sufficient lateral freedom in the bogie in the working position. The MTB shall have an adequate lateral clearance. In EN 15273-1 the clearance between axle and bogie underframe is defined by q:
qx = lateral clearance + The distance between the centre lines of the magnets shall be 1 510 mm for standard gauge (1 435 mm), see Annex C. When intended for use on different gauges the distance between the centre lines shall be adjusted accordingly. A bogie shall always comprise two magnets with pole shoes of identical construction. Appropriate devices (e. g. tie bars) shall be provided to maintain the pole shoes in a parallel position to each other. When the rail head is interrupted (switches, crossings), guidance of the magnet along the longitudinal axis of the rail head and its geometrical position, in relation to the vertical axis, shall be ensured in an optimum way to achieve a retardation rate that is as uniform as possible and to make sure that the MTB guiding elements in the running gear be subjected to the least possible mechanical load. The working MTB shall be capable of passing over switches and crossings (incorporating fixed crossings). A reference switch where the tangent of the crossing angle is tg . ≥ 0,034 is able to verify the capable function. 5.4 Rest position of the magnet above the rail surface The MTB when in its rest position with the vehicle in working order, with fully worn wheels and taking into account static deflection of the running gear shall: — remain within the space "b", as defined in EN 15273-1:2013, Figure C.4; — be 40 mm to 100 mm above the rail surface. It may be assumed that the stationary parts in the switch and crossing environment do not exceed a height of 80 mm above the rail surface. 5.5 Magnet elements 5.5.1 End pieces The end pieces of a magnet have several tasks: — they protect the magnet pole shoes transmitting the braking force from mechanical damage; — they assist the passage of the magnet over switches and crossings when the magnets are in working position, to reduce the risk of derailment; — they contribute to the overall retardation generated by the magnet. SIST EN 16207:2014



EN 16207:2014 (E) 12 To ensure these characteristics, the end pieces are fixed on the support frame of the magnets and shall have a suitable geometry. The present state of the art is documented in Annex C. 5.5.2 Pole shoes The magnet can have a single rigid pole shoe which is generally used in low speed applications. For Mainline operation the state of the art is a magnet body with several pole shoes, which are free to move within the support frame. The width of the pole shoe that is in contact with the rail head shall be 65 mm to 72 mm and the maximum width of the magnet shall not exceed 140 mm. It is permitted for the magnets to be fitted with renewable friction plates to enable easy replacement while on the vehicle. The limit of wear of the pole shoe and/or the friction plates shall be clearly identifiable. The total length L over which the MTB is in contact with the rail should be at least 1 000 mm. 5.6 Clearance for wheel lathe machines and wheel skates The installation of the MTB shall be made in such a way that sufficient space is available in the vicinity of the wheel to perform maintenance or repair work with underfloor wheel lathe machines. An example of the clearance required for this purpose is represented in Figure 2. SIST EN 16207:2014
