Overview
Handling Specialty worked collaboratively with a transportation company to design and manufacture equipment to be used in the testing and assembly of railcar bogies (also called wheelsets or trucks). This was a custom project requiring extensive collaboration between the customer and Handling Specialty’s engineering team to ensure the equipment met the customer’s precise requirements.
Features
- High-efficiency ballscrews provide smooth, quiet, efficient, high-speed operation.
- Synchronization of the lifting screws ensures that the platform remains level during the entire vertical travel.
- Redundant brake motors provide backup braking should the brake on one motor fail to engage.
- Self-aligning screw mounts allow the ballscrews to self-align to the lifting jacks, ensuring proper alignment and maintaining their expected life.
- Actuation provides precise motion, accurate positioning and the ability to maintain vertical positioning for extended periods of time.
