BMBS

The BMBS wagon brake system consists of two 10" diameter pneumatic actuators with automatic slack adjusters, two brake beams, and interconnecting rods. It provides reliable braking through automatic load sensing and uniform brake performance. Key advantages over conventional systems include reduced weight, increased efficiency, and easier maintenance through its simplified design. The system fits on standard bogies without modifications and includes provisions for mechanical hand braking.

SALIENT FEATURES &

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF
BMBS WAGON BRAKE SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BMBS

The equipment consists of a transversely mounted


pneumatic actuator (Brake Cylinder) with a self-
contained, double acting slack adjuster, two brake
beams, two bell crank levers and interconnecting push
rods. The hand brake arrangement is available as a
mechanical model with two flexible hand brake cables.
The pneumatic actuator is 10” in diameter for application
on high friction brake shoe (K type) on casnub type
bogies. The system consists of a unique design with two
pneumatic actuators to deliver reliable braking
performance and is light in weight. It fits into any
standard IR casnub bogie and uses 58mm thick brake
shoes.
SALIENT FEATURES :-
1- Use of Two no’s of 10” Dia brake cylinders with automatic
load sensing device.
2- Use of 58 mm thick K type non asbestos composite
brake block.
3- Piston stroke of 56(+6,-0) mm in empty condition and 62
(+6,-0) mm in loaded condition is required to maintain.
4- Application of loads is at the ends the brake beam
instead of centre resulted no chances of bending of brake
beams.
5- Cylinder is with double acting slack adjustment feature
with constant piston stroke resulting is uniform brake
performances even as the brake shoes and wheels wears.
6- Total slack adjusting capacity is 500 mm including
brake block wear, wheel wear and all clearances.
7- All cylinders are equipped with an automatic piston
stroke indicator.
8- Replacement of the brake head is quickly and easy
by removal by only one pin.
9- Provision of mechanical hand brake system with the
use of two no’s stainless hand brake cables pulled
through standard hand brake rigging.
10- Easy fitment of bogie mounted cylinder on any
standard bogies without making any modifications.
ADVANTAGES OF BMBS OVER CONVENTIONAL
BRAKE SYSTEM
1-SAB is eliminated providing in built slack adjuster to
take up slack automatically.
2- Brake Rigging completely eliminated.
3- Wt of BK system Reduced approx: 300 Kg resulting
more carrying capacity.
4- E/L system Modified to Automatic Load sensing hence
there is no L/E handle.
5- Mechanical efficiency ( Brake percentage) Increased
to 47.6% ( was 43.8% in case of BOXN)
6- Push Rod of conventional type eliminated BK rigging
eliminated so there was a low chance of hanging
parts in Train.
7- Braking Distance decreased.
8- Wheel wear is Reduced due to use of K-Type 58 mm
thick composite BK Block.
9- Speed of Train Increased due to better control.
10- Reliability of BK system is increased.
11- Low Maintenance Cost.
12- No need of Detachment of wagons in en route when
BK pipe Damage.
13- Cylinder is mounted parallel to the brake beam and
transfer forces through the bell cranks.
14- Improves the efficiency and alignments of the
braking forces with the wheels which reduced the
wear of shoes and wheels.

15- Use of pressure regulated load sensing device,


installed between body and bogie under frame act on
15 psi to maintain normal sensor arm travel of 95 mm.

16- Use of single stage distributor valve (conventional


type).

17- Use of Two bell crank levers and two Inter


connecting Push rods, to transmit braking force from
bk cyl. to wheel through primary and secondary brake
beams.
Brake cylinder with double acting
slack adjustment feature.
DV in service
When BP reduced, piston moves outward
and the indicator comes out from the BC.

Piston stroke
indicator
When BP reduced, piston moves outward
and an additional indicator is provided on the
trolley, which comes down ward when DV
allowed pr. to BC.
DV in isolated condition and manually
Released…
Piston moves inside
and the indicator also moves inside.
When piston moves inside,
then the additional indicator which is provided
on the trolley, moves upward.
Individual bogie can be isolated by isolating the
corresponding bogie COC.

Provision of mechanical hand brake
system with the use of two numbers
stainless hand brake cables pulled
through standard hand brake rigging in
one trolley only.

DV
Mechanical arrangement for
Hand brake.
To apply hand brake rotate the wheel
towards DV. (on either side)

DV
As an indication the piston stroke
indicator will comes out.
To release hand brake rotate the wheel
opposite to DV. (on either side)

DV
As an indication the piston stroke
indicator will go inside.
To ensure the hand brake application
check the brake blocks are griping on
the wheel of corresponding trolley .
