High-precision wheel load measurement system
Ensure optimal rail safety with precise wheel and axle load assessments, reducing maintenance times and enhancing load distribution for high-speed operations in rail systems.
Monitors and Controls Wheel and Axle Loads
The MULTIRAIL WheelLoad system from Schenck Process is engineered to deliver precise monitoring and control of wheel and axle loads in railway applications. This solution is distinguished by its ability to seamlessly integrate into both static and dynamic operations, utilizing legal-for-trade weighbeams for accurate measurement. It supports applications across locomotives, rail cars, bogies, and street cars, focusing on optimizing load distribution and ensuring compliance with railway safety standards such as DIN27201-5. Capable of analyzing both vertical wheel forces and axle loads with high precision, it reduces inspection and maintenance times. The modular structure allows for easy installation in existing layouts, while dynamic operations reach speeds of up to 10 km/h. Available options include customization of weighing segment lengths to fit specific operational needs. The system’s robustness is backed by Schenck Process’s global support network, ensuring continuous performance in transport, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.
