LUR PRODUCTS SERVICES INNOVATION ABOUT US GO TO CONTACT US Axle Protection Special coatings and systems to protect against corrosion and impact Increasing Product Safety is a key objective of the Lucchini Research and Development department. The R&D laboratories are equipped with a range of full scale test rigs to reproduce real life conditions. New Wheelset Protection systems can be developed and tested. The R&D projects are considering mechanical and thermal fatigue, mechanical impacts, adhesion, gritting and flame resistance. New systems must be compatible with NDT inspection processes. The objective must be to ensure long lasting protection which will reduce the costs of in-service inspection and maintenance of the wheelsets LURSAK Epoxy based fibers reinforced coating for axle anti –impact protection; was developed for the high speed vehicles. 90 J steel bullet in wide temperature range (-40 to +80 °C) Fire resistant according to EN 45545 LURSHELL Anti-impact shell, applicable on class 3 coating, removable for axle periodical NDT inspection (MT – magnetic particle) 90 J steel bullet in wide temperature range (-40 to +80 °C). A special surface pattern enables the moisture flow from the axle-shell interface to the outside. Fire resistant according to EN 45545 There is more information on the Lucchini RS Group website http://lucchinirs.com/portfolio/anti-impact-protections-lursak-lurshell/ INNOVATION LOW NOISE WHEELS LRS has invested in a Vibro-Acoustic Laboratory READ MORE SMARTSET Condition monitoring of axles READ MORE RESILIENT WHEELS Reducing environmental noise READ MORE INNOVATIVE UT INSPECTION UAT Inspection for Solid Axles READ MORE PRODUCTS Products Axles Wheels Wheelsets SERVICES Services Bogie Overhaul Gearbox Overhaul Wheelset Overhaul INNOVATION Innovation Axle Protection Low Noise Wheels Innovative UT Inspection Resilient Wheels Smartset OTHER LINKS Home Events News Documents Contact Us LUR © Copyright Lucchini Unipart Rail Ltd | Site designed and developed by Venn Digital Terms of use | Privacy policy
