Innovative solution for test equipment for the experimental investigation of friction properties of brake components of brake systems

摘要

The article deals with the issue of a test facility for the experimental research of the friction properties of the brake systems of rolling stock. The article presents the individual parts of the UIC flywheel brake test bench and the possibility of measuring the individual quantities according to UIC requirements. The article presents a calculation of the normal and tangential force generated by braking of the brake disc. The main goal is the calibration of the tangential force sensor and the detection of the possible hysteresis of the braking system, the determination of the characteristics and linearity of the tangential force sensor and results measured by flywheel brake test bench must be relevant and usable for further scientific research into the brake systems of rolling stock.
