Research on the Impact of Forces and Acceleration During the Riding and Braking of a Suspended Monorail

摘要

This article presents the results of experimental studies aimed at identifying the forces and accelerationduring the riding and braking action of a suspended monorail. The tests were conducted under in situconditions, in a dip-heading “B” ZG SILTECH in Zabrze. The paper also discusses a test stand, a mete-ring system, and presents the impact of changes in speed on forces in slings of the suspended route. Themeasurements of selected parameters were performed for three variants: the route, the emergency haulagebraking and the braking trolley set braking. The results include waveforms of forces in route slings, andacceleration values acting on the operator and transported load.
