Abstract

Laboratory tests, conducted by the S.G.I. Generale Isothermos, were made to determine the high-speed characteristics of Athermos mechanically lubricated axleboxes at speeds of 248 to 280 mph. Various loads were applied to the axles to simulate actual running conditions. The speed, oil pressures, oil temperatures and bearing temperatures are shown for several tests and the test conditions are described.
