EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12082 testing. This European standard specifies principles and methods for hardware performance testing of axle box roller bearings, bearing, seals and grease system. Test parameters and minimum performance requirements are specified for vehicles operating on main lines.
Different test parameters and performance requirements can be selected for vehicles operating on other networks (eg city rail). This standard was historically developed for outboard applications, but can be used for vehicles with other bearing arrangements (eg: inboard application or single wheel).
It gives some possible examples where a "sequential performance test" takes into account a wide range of different service conditions in a particular application or tool platform. It explains in detail the waterproof test and the basic principles and minimum requirements for a field test.
To improve the reliability, availability, durability, high speed capability and maintenance of the European rail transport system, there is a need to ensure the necessary quality, safety and efficiency of axle boxes covered by the following set of standards: EN 12080, EN 12081 and EN 12082.
This European standard has been prepared to standardize the performance testing of axle boxes for all types of wagons to ensure compliance with the required service, i.e. box housing, bearings, seals and grease assembly. It is very suitable for service requirements.
This test is done in two stages, a "hardware test" and a "field test" as detailed in this European standard. The extent of testing to be performed depends on the application as well as the novelty of bearing design, seal design, grease formulation or box housing.
