<p>Electronic control system for wheel axles on rail-mounted vehicles, especially railroad car sets. According to the invention, an accelerometer (G) is attached on the bearing box (L) for each axle end in all cars. Each accelerometer senses on the running vehicle the vibrations of the bearing box and emits a corresponding electric signal (S) to a signal processing unit (B) common to all accelerometers on the same vehicle. Each such unit is capable on the basis of the different frequencies caused by wheel and bearing faults to distinguish individual fault signals and their origin in the car. Information on the type of fault and on the axle (A), on which the fault is located, is passed to a fault indicating unit (I) on the locomotive. By means of an addressing arrangement via the signal processing units connected in series on the different cars, also the car is indicated, on which the fault is located. </p> |
