Wheel Flange Weighing System

Model : PTW1

Overview: 

PTW1 is a portable and flexible train weighing system. It allows the weighing of individual wheels, axles, wagons and trains, and can be used with almost all commonly used rail profiles and track gauges.

It is a load cell based system, which fits to the inner sides of rail. When the wheel flange rolls up the ramp, the wheel’s tyre is raised, so the wheel-rail contact force is tested on the wheel flange. 

This means that faults related to the running surface are ruled out from the outset, such as faulty grip due to conical wheels and effects caused by the linear expansion of the rail. This is beneficial for trains that undergo pre and post modifications at locomotive workshops and train maintenance depots.

Benefits:

• No track downtime during installation 

• No costly civil works required

• No test train required for calibration

• Portable, quick and easy to install ( around 15 minutes).

• excellent accuracy and flexibility

Functions and Features:

• Available for all standard gauges, no matter narrow or wide

• Can be quickly adapted to different installation locations, as well as axle and bogie center distances.

• Can be expanded as required. As its modular structure, once a fault happens, the blocks can be easily exchanged.

• Wired or wireless both available.
