Underground Train Bogie Frame

Industry:  Rail

Application: Tightening/un-tightening of bolts on an underground train bogie frame

Problem:

  • Difficult access to the bolts on the bogie frame caused by beam & sole-bar obstructions
  • Health & safety issues associated with tightening/un-tightening of the bolts manually
  • Avoiding damage to the high grade Aluminium section of the bogie system during tightening/un-tightening of the bolts

Solution:

  • Straight reaction platform for tightening/un-tightening of 55mm A/F bolts (position of wrench can be altered to suit each bolt)
  • Cranked reaction platform for tightening/un-tightening of 75mm A/F bolt

Features:

  • Integral reaction posts
  • Designed for use with direct fit hydraulic wrench
  • Manufactured from high quality Carbon steel for strength & longevity

Benefits:

  • Avoids reacting on the bogie frame
  • Job specific tooling saves time 
  • Spreads the load when reacting
  • Measured & correct torque applied, giving improved joint integrity
  • Overcomes the access problems caused by the beam & sole-bar obstructions
  • A single hydraulic wrench with two reaction platforms will suit all the bolts on this application
  • Safe & accurate controlled bolting process

Tooling:

  • Christie 2DFTW-36 A/F (Max. 1866 Nm) Hydraulic Torque Wrench
  • Christie Hydraulic Pump
