1.0 Introduction
The Single Arm Pantograph WBL 22.03 serves the Current Collection of electrically
operated Light Rail & Other Transist Vehicles.
Our objective was to design and manufacture a simple, light weight, and easy to maintain,
Pantograph.
We further wanted to achieve an optimum in catenary contact behavior, even under the
most basic overhead wire conditions, and combine with it a maximum of operating safety.

4.2.1.4 Air Bellow
The pneumatic bellow drive allows the pantograph to rise. It is mounted between the base
frame and the lower frame. A pneumatic line connects the bellow drive with the
pneumatic control, and then continues via the solenoid valve on to the compressor. The
contact pressure is adjusted through the pneumatic control system.
The main part of the valve unit is the pressure regulator, it is responsible for a constant
pressure for the air bellow during all service conditions.
The pressure regulator has a high sensitivity and is adjustable in a range of 1 to 8 bar.
Pressure switches mounted inside the pneumatic control box to monitor ADD and ORD
For the connection to the pneumatic system three connections available:
One for the pressure supply of the air bellow
One for the pressure supply to the Pressure switch from the ADD Valve
One for the pressure supply to the Pressure switch from the ORD Valve
From ORD
To Air Bellow
5.0 Packaging
5.1 Packaging for Transport
The pantograph is mounted in an appropriate packaging (e.g.wood box) in lowered
position with pan head up.
Attention!!!!!! Always transport the pantograph with the proper side up,
the pan head must be upside.
6.0 Storage
For storage please get the pantograph in a roofed room. Make sure, that this place is well
ventilated, dry and the temperatures do not exceed the temperature limits according to
the technical data (see chapter #3.0). The pantograph can remain in the packaging for
storage.
Attention!!! Store the pantograph always with the proper side up, the pan
head must be upside.
Do not place other parts directly on the pantograph. If the pantograph is stored out of the
packing, take care, that the ground is flat, use spacers of a appropriate length under the
pantograph feet in order to avoid damages by the floor to low and moving parts (Air
bellow, Pneumatic control). If pantographs are stored one upon the other outside the
packing, use suitable frames. Take care, that exposed part (horns, etc.) will not be
damaged.
7.0 Cleaning
Use only acidless cleaning agents for cleaning!
8.0 Assembly
8.1 General Information
The pantograph is manufacturer-adjusted according to your system requirements.

9.0 Start Up
9.1 Check List
Before Start Up please check the following:
Check insulating distances to vehicle according to the technical data
(see chapter #3).
Assure that the screw connection of the high voltage connection is properly fastened
and well greased (see chapter #8.4).
Check the contact pressure (see chapter #13.4.2) of the pantograph according
to the technical data (see chapter #3).
Assure that the collector strips are seated friction free.
Check that the pan head can turn freely from the horizontal position.
Assure that the collector strips are parallel to the overhead wire.
Assure that the raising and lowering times are in accordance with the technical data
(see chapter #3)
Check the function of the overreach detection. (see chapter #13.8)
Assure that the coupling rod rests on the resting bumper(see chapter #13.3)
Attention!!! No one is allowed underneath the pantograph while adjusting the overreach
detection on the train. The overreach detection is connected to a lowering function, the
pantograph will collapse if a certain height is detected.
10.0 Maintenance
10.1 General Information
The single arm pantograph requires a minimum of maintenance.
At the regular maintenance intervals of the vehicles, the following procedures are
recommended:
The required maintainance is influenced by the environmental and operational conditions,
so the operator has to adapt accordingly.
A thin crack in the middle or horn area will not influence the
function of the strips. In case of more than 3 Cracks in the
carbon middle/ wear area, strips should be changed to avoid
a separation of the carbon material.
Carbon strips need to be checked for damage & wear at every visual inspection. As a guide
line to determine the intervals between visual inspections, please consider the following:
Anticipated operating and wear life.
Extreme weather conditions (ice, snow, rain, sleet, etc.)
The wear of both carbon strips should happen evenly , if not check the adjustment of the
parallel guide bar (see chapter # 13.7 ) or if parts of the pan head or the parallel guide bar
are damaged.
When the carbon strips wear down to the thickness indicated in the sketch below, they
must be replaced.
They always have to be replaced as a pair.
After the installation, the parallelism of the carbon strips and the contact pressure has to
be checked. (see chapter #13.4.2)

10.3 Bearings
10.3.1 Grooved Ball Bearings
When the grooved ball bearings are to be changed, the space of the ball bearings needs
completely to be filled with grease in order to avoid condensation.
Grease bearing seats before mounting new bearings in order to prevent the parts from
corrosion.

Test procedure:
Fix the pantograph in resting position.
Give the raising signal.
Open the pneumatic tube connection from the carbon strip.
The rapid ventilation valve must react.
After the test fix the pneumatic tube to the carbon strip and check proper raising
Also check the wear of the 3/2 Way valve and the clamp part 1.
If the wear of the roller ball is high and not able to turn easily / cam on clamp part 1
shows too much wear they have to be replace
12.0 Repairs
12.1 General Information
Prior to disassembling the pantograph, please study the illustrated spare parts catalogue
(see chapter #15.0) be informed about the relationship of the individual component parts.
Deformed and defective component parts are to be changed.
Bearing alignment is only accurately measurable on a measuring table.
Schunk cann’t take responsibility for workmanship at repairs and maintenance carried out
by other companies.
12.2 Dismounting of Pantograph from Top of Vehicle Roof
Lower pantograph into resting position.
Attention!!! Make sure that current in overhead is switched off and grounded!
Detach electrical connections between pantograph and vehicle.
Disassamble the high voltage insulating tubes between pantograph and vehicle.
Secure pantograph at the transport hooks.
Detach pantograph from insulators.
Lift pantograph off vehicle roof only by using transport hooks.

12.4.4 Shunts
For the assembly of new shunts proceed according the following procedure:
clean the contact areas,
grease contact areas with contact grease,
install shunts and
align them according to the following criteria:
The shunts may neither contact each other, nor they may touch other components
of the pantograph.
The shunts must hang loosely and are not allowed to be strained.
In order to achieve this, the shunts must be turned into the appropriate position, if
necessary also the cable sockets have to be bent.
To check the adjustment the pantograph must be lifted and lowered over the whole
working height, if necessary the shunts need to be readjusted.
