GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS: RESERCH DESIGNS & STANDARDS ORGANISATION MANAK NAGAR, LUCKNOW - 226011 No.SV.Alteration Dated: 31.03.2010 MODIFICATION SHEETS No. MP.MOD. (Rev.00) 4. TLE Moaffcation in oil filing pipe arrangement for centre pivot & side bearer (oil pans) of Co-Co trimount locomotive bogie. 2. BACKGROUND The locomotive bogie consists of cast bogie frame, which has a centre pivot carried on the pivot transom and two load bearers that are located on cross member of the frame between the middle and trailing axle. Centre pivot (Swivel Bowl) and load bearers (oil pans) are provided with horizontal wear liners submerged in oil. Oil is filed! topped-up oil in centre pivot and load bearers (oil pans) through oil cups and pipe arrangement. The location of oil cup in locomotive bogie is such that it was difficult to fill/ top-up oil in centre pivot and load bearers (oil pans). 3. OBJECT Review and revise the design of oil filing pipe arrangement of Co-Co trimount locomotive bogies. The Piping design has modified as per RDSO sketch no. 2010-40 with easy for oil filing at the time of maintenance schedule to prevent their oil falling problem in service. 4, INVESTIGATION Zonal Railways are facing difficulty in oil filing in load bearers (Oil Pans) and centre pivot (Swivel Bow!) due to poor accessibility of oil filing cups resulting in to wastage/ falling of oil on bogie frame, To overcome the problem, RDSO has modified the piping arrangement for oil filing for easy accessibility in oil filing cups. 5. APPLICATION TO CLASS OF LOCOMOTIVES Diesel and electric Co-Co trimount locomotive bogies 6. MODIFCATION CONTENT Following steps should be followed: |. Place the locomotive on repair line and disconnect the bogie connections which are connected to loco body, . Run out the bogies from locomotive along the track Ill, Remove the existing piping arrangement from the bogie frames. IV. Fit the modified piping arrangement on the bogie frames as shown in RDSO sketch no. 2010-40 (Annexure-!) V. Fill the recommended lubricant in load bearers (Oil Pans) and centre pivot (Swivel Bow!) VI. Placed the bogies under locomotive and refit the bogie connections to the loco body.10. MATERIALS REQUIRED AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY 1. 112" Pipe. |. Recommended lubricant. II Materials can be supplied by railway approved sources for such items ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (SPECIAL BENEFIT, FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS etc) This modification will results in the following practices. |. Ease in top-up filing the lubrication olin load bearers (Oil Pan) and centre pivot (Swivel Bow). Il. Reduced wastage of cl AGENCY AND SCHEDULE OF IMPLEMENTATION |. POH workshops during POH of locomotive. |. DieseV/electric loco sheds holding trimount locomotives during M24 schedule DISTRIBUTION As per Mailing List .
