Study Notes
- Agulles are used to switch trains from one track to another
- The two needles must move together to establish a route
- They are connected by a tie rod
- Counter-needles are formed by rails where the needles are adjusted
- The intersection of the two tracks is called the cor
- There is a gap called the llacuna to allow the wheels to pass through
- The llacuna prevents the wheels from having to go over the rails
- The wheels pass through the llacuna while crossing the intersection
- The text describes the parts of a train track intersection
- The text explains how the parts of the intersection work together.
- Friction between train wheels and rails causes high wear and tear
- Lubricant layer is used to reduce this effect
- Greasers are devices that apply lubricant to rails through pedals activated by train wheels
- Pedals can be mechanical or electromagnetic
- Mechanical pedals are commonly used
- Lubricant is taken from a reservoir and pumped onto rails through nozzles
- Greasers help reduce maintenance costs of trains and rails
- Lubrication also improves train performance and energy efficiency
- Different types of lubricants can be used depending on weather conditions
- Proper lubrication is crucial for safe and efficient train operation.
- Pedals are installed along train tracks.
- They can be mechanical or electromagnetic.
- They generate an electric signal when activated.
- This signal can be used to control various installations.
- Examples include level crossing barriers and automatic doors.
- The signal can also be used to regulate train traffic.
- The pedals are activated by the weight of passing trains.
- Mechanical pedals are activated by physical contact.
- Electromagnetic pedals are activated by changes in magnetic fields.
- The pedals provide information about the location of trains.
