IDEA #6GO5ND Wear-resistant Railway Wheel Rim Profile

Stage of Development. Suggestions for Commercialization IRL3, TRL3 Manufacturing license is proposed Areas of Application To be used in the freight railway cars with constant contact bearings, which operate on 1520 mm gage railroads in Ukraine; the CIS countries and the Baltic States Specifi cation The use of rim profi le can increase the contact patch area and ensure a conformal wheel contact Advantages The offered wheel rim profi le extends the wheel life (in terms of wheel fl ange wear) 4-5 times as compared with the conventional wheel profi le (GOST 9036-88), which signifi cantly reduces the intensity of wheel tread wear and adds 350-400 thousand km mileage between fl ange re-turnings IPR Protection IPR3
