FIELD: transport. ^ SUBSTANCE: method of railroad wheel pair contact surface wear monitoring proceeds from the measurement of the rail vertical vibration acceleration effected using an accelerometer and comprises converting the said data into electrical signals to be compared to reference signals corresponding to permissible defect tolerances. The method includes, additionally, measuring the wheel rim vertical travel along the contact surface development length by means of consecutively arranged magneto electric pickups, establishing the dependence of the induced signal magnitude upon the wheel rim position and comparing the resulted ratio with the defectless wheel reference data. The results obtained are correlated to the wheel pair linear speed to disclose, finally, the wheel defect size. ^ EFFECT: accurate measurement in wide range of train speeds. ^ 7 dwg |
