Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) Testing System

1.1 Product Overview

In a controllable and reproducible laboratory environment, by simulating the mutual interaction between the wheel and rail, reproducing the wear phenomenon of the wheel rail surface and subsurface caused by cyclic stress in the wheel rail contact area of rail vehicles, simulating and testing the fatigue phenomenon of wheel rail contact, accurately estimating the life of rail vehicle wheelsets and tracks, understanding the influence of various materials and geometric shapes on wheelset steering and durability performance, reducing potential risks of products, and lowering maintenance costs.

1.2 Product Advantages and Technical Features

1.2.1 Advanced

A solution for conducting contact fatigue testing on a complete wheelset system.

1.2.2 Accurate

The wheelset is fixed in position (rigidly connected), and all loads are directly reproduced at the point of application without any hinge transmission, resulting in no hysteresis or other errors.

1.2.3 Durable

The rail bracket adopts static pressure support bearings, which have low noise, low vibration, meet the requirements of smooth operation, no wear, and long service life.

1.2.4 Originality

Adopting composite displacement control to compensate for the fluctuations and changes in wheelset load.
