Weighbridge for railways - has rollers engaging on rail base, and lifting devices raising base and clamping it between rails

摘要

The weigh bridge has a base with a bridge and dynamometers between them. There are wheel flange supports for the flanges of a wagon to be weighed. The weigh bridge has guiding elements which follow fishing surfaces of the corresponding rails. The guiding elements are rollers (7) which can roll on the foot (10) of the corresponding rail (9), but leave a clearance (4) in the fish plate chamber (8). Both butt ends of the weigh bridge (2) base (1) have lifting devices, by which the weigh bridge base (1) can be lifted and clamped between the rails.
