Abstract

The paper presents results of measuring the force of the adjustment of the rail switch drive by spindle. The actuation force is the maximum force with which setting valve of the drive done to change position of the point. The simulation research requires proper mathematical model of the actuation force of the rail switch drive. Thus, the verification of such model requires real data measured on real object. The paper presents results of measurement and method of real data analysis.

Highlights

  • The adjusting force is the name of the switches force of switch drive

  • The second method is indirect and it based on the measuring the current voltage that flows during the changeover of the switching drive

  • The experiments were conducted with the measurement of the actuation force of the rail switch drive measured by spindle

Summary

Introduction

The adjusting force is the name of the switches force of switch drive It is estimated as the maximum value occurred when the clutch is overloaded. The force setting is an important parameter related to the safety train traffic control. The measurement of the setting force is very important. Two methods for measuring force adjustment are known and used: the method of measuring the force of the adjustment of the rail switch drive by spindle and the method based on the measuring the setting current voltage. The second method is indirect and it based on the measuring the current voltage that flows during the changeover of the switching drive. With the well know current-force relation it allows to determine the value of the adjusting force [1,2,3,4,5]
