Brief description

Wheel set (Bogie) Springs need to be regularly inspected and
their load carrying, energy absorption and elasticity characteristics controlled and recorded.

This testing is carried out by approved Rail and Rolling Stock maintenance organisations. The major elements of testing include the analysis of impact force on springs and the resulting correlation between compression achieved in relation to the height for coil(parabolic) springs, and in the case of leaf springs the relationship between the changing of length as the force is applied and then removed.The force over distance controlled Ulbrich Spring Tester system enables the operator to carry out all the Statutory testing requirements.
