Capability Statement

We can carry out the following tests: The test procedures designated with an asterisk (*) are accredited by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025: – Operational measurement for analysing loads and component loads* – Fatigue strength tests for bogie frames*, axle shafts*, solid wheels*, buffing and draw gear and permanent way components – Experimental strength verifications of rail vehicles (pressure tests)*, tests in the hump yard* – Pressure-change function tests for side windows* – Function tests for hydraulic dampers – Strength and function tests for vehicle springs – Strength tests for wheelset bearing housings – Strength tests for interior fittings – Strength tests for permanent way components – Strength tests for rail track/rail track welds – Performance tests for wheelset bearings* – Operational vibration analyses We conduct many different types of fatigue strength test: – Tests in our stationary test laboratory (comprehensive equipment with designated testing areas, servohydraulic cylinders, measuring equipment for force, distance, strain, acceleration and pressure) – On-track measurements and testing – Measurements at the customer – Calculations: We also have a high level of know-how in performing calculations to theoretically assess complex issues. Our stationary test stands: – Strength test bed – Bogie frame test stand – Rotational bending fatigue test rig – Window test bed – Axle box test bed – Pressure test bed – Shunting test bed. DB Systemtechnik is QMS certified to the ISO 9001 standard.
