Step-by-Step Guide to Gauge Correction
Using the Wheelset Alignment Tool is simple and effective. Follow these steps to precisely set the gauge of your wheelsets:
Selecting the Right Spindle Tip:
- Choose the appropriate spindle tip for the axle to be worked on.
- For wagons with pointed bearings, use the conical spindle tip. The cone protects the tip and prevents deformation.
- For locomotives and wagons with flat axles, use the flat spindle tip.
Reducing Gauge:
- Insert the axle completely into the tool.
- Fix the wheel disc centered with the selected spindle tip. Ensure the axle is aligned with the spindle.
- Turn the cross handle clockwise. This applies pressure to the axle and reduces the gauge.
- Then open the tool by turning the cross handle counterclockwise and remove the axle.
Increasing Gauge:
- Insert the axle into the tool so that it lies outside the actual clamping area.
- Ensure the wheel disc lies flat and fix it centered with the spindle tip.
- Turn the cross handle clockwise. This applies pressure to the wheel disc and increases the gauge.
- Open the tool again by turning the cross handle counterclockwise and remove the axle.
