5. Procedures of replacement and adjustment on site:

Two situations for wheel replacement on site:
5.1 Only replace the single wheel; when replacing the single wheel, just make
make the notch of the cover, the “*” mark on the eccentric bearing sleeve
and the mark on the wheel pillow block match with each other.
5.2 Replace the wheel bogie: to replace the wheel bogie, mark the original relative
positions between the wheel bogietobe replaced and trolley frame first,install the
new wheel bogie according to the mark, and then make the notch of the cover,
the “*” mark on the eccentric bearing sleeve and the mark on the wheel pillow Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery Co.,Ltd.–Machanical Department
block match with each other. December , 2008

1. Requirements for the trolley wheel alignment by ZPMC：

Figure 4
1.1 The axial centers of the wheels on the two opposite rails should not have an
altitudinal deviation more than 2mm in the vertical plane (Please refer toFigure1).

Maximum deviation 2 mm
horizontal line
The maximum eccentricity
horizontal line
of the eccentric sleeve is
2.5 mm
Figure 1

1.2 The inclination of the wheel axial centre from the horizontal plane should be
between +0.2%D and -0.1%D (As shown in Figure 2).
1.3 The axial centre of the wheel bores should not have an angular deviation more
than -+ 0.08%D from its theoretical axial centre in the horizontal plane.
(As shown in Figure3).
3. Theoretical analyses on configuration design:
The eccentric adjustment values by turning an eccentric bearing sleeve
at every 15 degree are shown in Figure 5:

and its adjustment is same as ZPMC standard . thickest place of the eccentric sleeve

2. Assembly configuration of the eight-wheel bogie:

To meet the requirements for the trolley wheel alignment, wheel bearing sleeves
are designed eccentrically, and the eccentric bearing sleeves are 2.5mm adjustable. Figure 5

The Adjustment of the eccentricsleeves effects thewheel alignment in three directions.

Adjust according to the values measured on site to meet the technical requirements.
4. Procedures for installation and adjustment in workshop:
To adjust the wheel, the pre-tightening torque given in the drawing should be The notch R 8 on the end cover
adopted on the bolts (Bolt B4 M16 (10.9s), pretightening force F=78.6KN, pretightening matches with the “*” mark on
torque=180Nm, torque coefficient k=0.145), and the following technical requirement eccentric sleeve
should also be strictly followed:
4.1 Proper amount of lubricant grease should be pumped into the bearing to make
sure that the wheels be turned freely . Horizontal center line:
4.2 Note the “*” mark on eccentric bearing sleeves to control the adjustment direction
and values. The original position of the eccentric bearing sleeves should be along The original position of the eccentric parallel to the rail
bearing sleeves: the maximum
the rail length direction, and the notch R8 on the end cover should match with the
“*” mark. As shown in Figure 7. eccentric value should be along
the rail length direction
4.3 Make sure that the external surface of the eccentric bearing sleeves and the
faying surface of the bearing cover and the wheel pillow block are cleaned before
adjusting the eccentric bearing sleeves. Figure 7
4.4 Use J2-JDA laser transit to locate the benchmark when adjusting the wheels,
As shown in Figure 8. 4.6 When the adjustment is completed, mark scale mark on the wheel pillow block
4.5 Loose the connecting bolts B4 on the bearing cover, then turn the end cover to where the notch R8 of the end cover locates. As shown in Figure 10.
make the eccentric bearing sleeves be turned together to realize the wheel 4.7 Check the running condition of the wheels after re-assembly to make sure the
