(Main + Amendment)Railway applications - Axlebox lubricating greases - Part 2: Method to test the mechanical stability to cover vehicle speeds up to 200 km/h
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies a test method and sets the acceptance criteria for the determination of the mechanical stability of lubricating greases intended for the lubrication of axlebox bearings according to EN 12081. In the test, impacts are applied to the lubricating grease so that only very stable lubricating greases will perform acceptably. The method is used in a discrimination process for finding lubricating greases of such mechanical stability that they are considered accepted lubricating greases for more extensive performance tests according to EN 12082.
For purposes of quality assurance and quality control, this test method is also used for batch testing of lubricating greases.

72 h, but the rotational speed of the axle is increased to 1 000 r/min (104,7 rad/s). The weight of lubricating grease lost from the axlebox is recorded as a measure of mechanical stability. 5 Reagents and materials Use only reagents of recognised analytical grades (e.g. white spirit according to BS 245 specification). 6 Apparatus1)))) The following V2F test rig and equipment are used in the test: a) test rig as described in Annex A and detailed in Annex B; b) lifting device suitable for supporting and manoeuvring the assembled axlebox (approximately 100 kg); c) spatula; d) balance; e) thermocouple. 7 Sampling The following measures shall be taken when taking samples: a) unless otherwise specified, samples shall be taken in accordance with one of the procedures specified in EN ISO 3170; b) laboratory samples shall be examined for homogeneity before taking the test portion. NOTE How lubricating grease samples are to be taken after the test procedure is described in 8.10; c) samples shall be stored at a temperature between 0 °C and 30 °C, for at least 24 h, before use. 8 Testing procedure 8.1 General The procedure is described assuming that the apparatus is disassembled. If this is not the case, then disassemble the apparatus and bearings, as described in 8.10 and 8.11, before proceeding.
