Abstract Scope |
Axle bearing failure in railway vehicles is a factor that prevents the safe operation of rail vehicles. One indication of axle bearing failure is the build-up of heat generated by the bearing. In order to monitor the bearing temperature, conventionally, a temperature sensor has been built into the axlebox to manage the bearing temperature. In this study, a temperature monitoring system based on infrared thermography technology was developed to monitor the temperature of axlebox bearings in railway vehicles. It was attempted to secure the driving safety of railway vehicles through monitoring the temperature outside the axlebox by using a small infrared thermal imaging camera. In this paper, the development of an axlebox bearing temperature monitoring system based on infrared thermography technology will be introduced. Moreover, the results of performance evaluation and temperature monitoring using an actual bearing tester will be presented. |
