Abstract

The dead-end stops that are installed at the truck ends and differ from each other in their design and principle of repayment of the kinetic energy of a moving object are used to improve the operation security of the rail lift and transport facilities. However, the main task of any dead-end stop is to stop the lift and transport facility at the minimum braking distance. Inadequate braking “smoothness” can cause a derailment or destruction of the lift and transport facility, so it is preferable to use dead-end stops excluding the impact during the braking and ensuring a smooth increase of the braking effect. The dead-end stop construction with the effect of increasing resistance forces is proposed, which meets these conditions, that can be used both for lift and transport facilities and for the rail rolling stock. In addition, the analysis of power characteristics in the spot elements was made and analytical dependencies for engineering calculations were developed.
