POWERVE® portable weighing system for locomotives and rolling stock


The balance of static vertical forces on the wheels is a key factor in ensuring the dynamic stability of the vehicle. Unloaded wheels, especially those on the diagonal of the bogie, significantly reduce the bogie's ability to operate safely on track curvature, leading to derailment. <br/> Multiple wheel unloading incidents may occur due to improper maintenance, abnormal wear/suspension failure, or abnormal wear of the wheel diameter as measured at the wheel height, resulting in a loss of vehicle dynamic performance and affecting safety. Furthermore, based on our field test experience (thanks to numerous demonstrations and weighing tasks completed over the years), vehicle imbalance is often observed even between two major overhaul cycles. <br/> Therefore, the static wheel force distribution should be checked more frequently.
