Calibration of a strain-gauge torque tube for the hydro-kinetic brake (IM-PS-122)

Last updated on 02 December 2013 4:36

Some means of measuring the torque output of the Hydro-kinetic Brake (HKB) will be required when the brake is track tested (E-Train PoP train etc). One method of measuring this torque is to strain gauge the torque tube which couples the brake torque to the axlebox. An additional advantage with...
