Adjustment Procedures
When using a spring scale:
1. Raise and lower pantograph three times.
a. Take down value1 when raising.
b. Take down value 2 when lowering.
2. Calculate result:
Measuring of static contact force when slowly raising to highest
position.
Measuring of static contact force when slowly lowering to resting
position.
Median static
contact force
Balance of static contact force between value1 and value 2
3. Find tolerances:
EN50206-1, Annex A contains tolerances for the balance of the static contact force.
4. When balance is too high:
Search for causes (damaged component, dirty bearings, etc.) and remove them.
After all adjustment procedures have been done, the shock
absorber must be attached again ( Chapter #11.5.4).
