Transportation Systems 4 Constructional Details and Principle of Operation

Functions of the SIMAX S700 K Electric Point Machine
The SIMAX S700 K electric point machine is used to operate points with external lockings and, under certain conditions, points without their own locking components. It has the following functions: operate points retain point blades in end positions lock point blades in end positions prove home position of point blades electrically The SIMAX S700 K electric point machine is available as a trailable or a nontrailable version, for right-hand or left-hand mounting and with or without a point detector. In addition, the models differ in the type of motor current, throwing stroke, throwing force and throwing time. A throwing movement already initiated can be reversed at any time and from any position. If the current fails, the point machine can be operated using a crank handle.
4.1
4.2
Constructional Details
All the components are neatly arranged in a machine housing. Parts which need to be checked during interlocking inspections and maintenance work are easily accessible. For environmental reasons, the point machine is free of asbestos, PVC and PCB.
4.2.1
Housing
The housing of the point machine conforms to IP rating IP 54 as per German standard DIN VDE 0470. The inside can be ventilated. Any water which may have collected can be drained off via holes. During storage and transport, these holes are closed by water drainage stoppers; they are removed after the point machine has been mounted on the track. The outlets for the throw bar and detector slides, the lock cover and opening for the crank handle are well sealed. The efficiency of the point machine cannot be impaired by the entry of moisture. The housing cover has a built-in lock.
4.2.2
Cable Entry
Cables entering the machine are insulated from the housing; this is ensured by a cable gland at the side of the point machine. The terminal strip has eight terminals for connection of the cables. Depending on the voltage cut-off switch provided, up to eight cores can be connected.

4.2.3 Earthing
M16 earthing screws are provided on the two long sides of the machine housing (see also Section 3.7).
4.2.4
Internal Wiring
For the internal wiring flexible wires are used, which are bundled together. Contact areas subject to particular stress are covered with a protective hose. With the exception of two connections, which may have to be interchanged to reverse the motor, the terminals are unambiguously marked. The dielectric strength of all current-carrying parts with respect to earth is 2000 V, 50 Hz (VDE 0831). A diagram of the internal circuitry is affixed to the housing cover of the point machine.
4.3

4.3.1 Motor
The encased built-in motor (1), an asynchronous short-circuit motor for threephase AC, was specially adapted to the construction of the point machine. The motor is designed for short-time duty. It has a high starting torque and the starting current is damped to permit operation with different line resistances. The rotor shaft, resting on ball bearings, supports the motor pinion (2). A crank handle gear wheel is provided for the insertion of the crank handle. An intermediate gear wheel (3) mounted on a pin on the motor engages with the pinion. This intermediate gear wheel bridges the axial clearance to the gear wheel of the transmission clutch (5). Also mounted on the pin is a lever which operates a voltage cut-off switch for crank handle operation. A suitable tolerance combination between the motor attachment and gear wheels ensures a perfect engagement with the transmission clutch gear wheel (4) even if the motor is exchanged. The motor complies with German VDE specifications.
4.3.2
Transmission Clutch
A multiple-disc clutch (5) limits the throwing force. The torque is transmitted to a sintered disc by two steel discs. The throwing force remains constant throughout the entire working life of the clutch. This is due to the long service life of the clutch, the flat characteristics of the spiral springs by means of which the pressure force is produced, and the relatively low surface pressure. The transmission clutch is mounted as a complete unit. The housing parts are made of light metal alloy. The clutch hub attached to the output end remains stationary when the clutch slips. The slipping clutch part at the motor end, incorporating the clutch housing with the gear wheel, forms the actual flywheel mass and rests on the hub. The adjusting screw allows an adjustment of the throwing force. The ex works setting is 5500 N 500 N. The clutch setting is secured by means of a form-fit locking plate and sealed. A throwing movement already initiated can be reversed at any time and from any position.
4.3.3
Gearing
The torque of the motor (1) has to be transformed into the necessary throwing force. The rotary movement is converted into the straight movement of the throw bar (16) by a ball spindle drive (6) via reduction gearing (2, 3, 4) and the transmission clutch (5). The ball spindle drive permits a high transmission ratio and produces linear motion. The spindle and spindle nut intermesh via rolling balls. The movement is transmitted from the spindle to the spindle nut by rolling friction. The longitudinal motion required results from the axial travel of the spindle nut. The spindle nut passes on the longitudinal motion to the secondary components via carriers (6.1, 6.2).

4.3.4 Retention Clutch with Throw Bar
The retention clutch (14) is a notched clutch. It is attached directly to the throw bar (16), which is thus completely enclosed by the clutch housing. The retention clutch comprises a pretensioned spiral spring, which presses a guided roller (14.1) into the hardened notch (16.1) of the throw bar. The pretensioning of the spring determines the retention force. It is adjusted by means of a nut, which is then form-locked and sealed. Trailable points are held in the two home positions with a retention force of 7000 N 500 N . When points are trailed, the notch of the throw bar lifts out the roller, thereby compressing the retention spring. The trailing resistance is 9000 N + 500 N. It is created by the spring pressure and the friction between the throw bar and the guides in the clutch housing, together with the guide flanges on the machine housing. In non-trailable point machines the latching bolt of the retention clutch is blocked. On the clutch housing there is also a shifting plate (7) supported by a guide. The plate engages a keep-and-detect slide (8 or 9) at the beginning of the throwing process and unblocks the clutch housing. The throw bar has a throwing stroke of 220 mm. For a throwing force of 4500 N and core resistance of 54 , the throwing time is approx. 6 seconds.
4.3.5
Point Detector
The point machine is equipped with a point detector consisting of a pair of detector slides and a guide sleeve. The point detector proves the home (end) position of the point blades. A home position is only indicated if the prescribed distance between the point blades and the stock rail is maintained. If the connection between the points and point machine is interrupted, e.g. due to a fractured throw rod, the point detector retains the points in the home position. The point fault becomes apparent the next time the points are operated and no "end position reached" indication is issued. A fractured detector rod can be detected in the same way. The detector slides (15) have notches enabling them to lock the relevant home position. The joints on the detector slides are insulated.
4.3.6
Contact Assembly
Snap switches (12 and 13) are used as the switching elements. For the four-core three-phase point circuit changeover contacts are required. These are operated by the quick-switch mechanism of the snap switch, making a mid-way position of the contacts impossible. The contacts are arranged in such a way that a home position of the points cannot be indicated until the throw bar and detector slides have reached their end positions. The end position of the throw bar must correspond to the position of the points.

4.3.7 Efficiency
The point machine has a good overall efficiency. Under normal conditions, therefore, feeder cables having a core diameter of less than 1.8 mm can be used. Alternatively, a greater control range is possible. The following are responsible for the high efficiency: four-pole three-phase motor antifriction bearings ball spindle drive
4.4
Throwing Process
The motor (1) starts up. The torque is transmitted by the pinion (2) via the intermediate gear wheel (3) to the gear wheel (4), and via the transmission clutch (5) to the ball spindle drive with the spindle nut (6). The clutch limits the torque, which is converted into a longitudinal force by the axial travel of the spindle nut. Carriers (6.1 and 6.2) move the shifting plate (7) in the direction of thrust. As the sloping edge of the plate moves against the roller (8.1) of the keep-and-detect slide (8), it pushes the slide back against the force of the compression spring (10), causing the snap switch (12) to operate. The detection contact is broken and the throwing current contact made. The retention clutch (14) and the detector slides (15) are then released. In order to ensure correct release of the retention clutch by the keep-and-detect slide, the restoring force of the point blade must not exceed 1400 N. The actual throwing process begins as soon as the machine is no longer locked. Up to this point, the spindle nut has only carried the shifting plate; it now also transports the retention clutch (14), a notched clutch linked to the throw bar (16). The retention clutch transmits the movement of the spindle nut to the throw bar. The retention force (setting of the retention clutch) must always exceed the throwing force in order to prevent a disengagement in the event of a large throwing resistance. At the end of the throwing movement, a compression spring (11) is released, pushing forward the keep-and-detect slide (9) assigned to this end position. The keep-and-detect slide engages with the end position notch (16.2) of the throw bar and locks the retention clutch. For point machines with point detector, the keep-and-detect slide (9) must also engage with the notches of the detector slides (15). The keep-and-detect slide can, therefore, only reach the locking end position if the detector slides have also reached the correct end position. Only under these conditions is it possible for the keep-and-detect slide to operate the snap switch (13), thereby breaking the throwing current contact and making the detection contact. The detector slides (15) are locked in the end position by the keep-and-detect slide (9).

Trailing Process
A trailable and a non-trailable version of the point machine are available. The trailing resistance is 9000 N + 500 N.

All Rights Reserved

0000C4DN.doc
The retention force of the non-trailable machine is greater than 90 kN. In the home position shown (Figure 1) the keep-and-detect slide (8) retains the throw bar (16) via the retention clutch (14). The throw bar can only be moved if the trailing resistance is overcome. The sloping edge of the notch (16.1) in the throw bar lifts the roller (14.1) of the retention clutch against the force of the retention spring. A second notch (16.3) of the throw bar for the relevant end position shifts the engaged keep-and-detect slide (8). The keep-and-detect slide operates the snap switch (12) and breaks the detection contact. At the same time the locking of the detector slides (15) by the keep-and-detect slide (8) is cancelled. The retention clutch (14) remains locked by the keep-anddetect slide (8). As the trailing process progresses, the throw bar (16) is shifted with respect to the retention clutch (14) after the trailing resistance has been overcome. The point machine is indicated as being trailed as soon as the throw bar is moved, even if the locking of the machine is still effective. After trailing, the point machine must be made operational again. This is done by a point reversal, which allows the retention clutch to catch up with the throw bar until it engages.
4.6
Point Throwing with a Crank Handle

The SIMAX S700 K electric point machine can be reversed locally using a crank handle. The crank handle is inserted on the left or the right of the machine housing, depending on the version, ensuring, thereby, that on double-track lines you must not turn your back to either of tracks in the process. The position of the crank handle opening is such that the cranking is not hindered by ballast or the like. A crank handle latch prevents the crank handle from engaging with the crank handle gear wheel as long as the throwing current is on. A key is used to operate the voltage cut-off switch and release the crank handle gear wheel. The crank handle is inserted through a covered opening in the housing and engaged with the crank handle gear wheel.
DANGER Before you start working on the track, inform the traffic controller responsible in order that he blocks the points. Continually observe the traffic on the adjacent track during the work.

Transportation Systems 6 Trackside Mounting

For the mounting of the base plates and point machine it is convenient to prepare a 30 cm to 40 cm thick ballast layer in order that rain and melt snow can drain off and seep away. Mount the point machine so that the base plates are horizontal and it cannot be immersed in water or affected by water jets. The base plates must not rest on the ballast. They must be free to move when the points are traversed.
P oint machine
Minimum clearance of 3 cm Soil or ballast Base plate
Fig. 5
Trackside mounting on base plates (side view)
Stamp the ballast and level the rest of the base plates flat. Small concrete plates can also be used as a rest. On the crank handle side the distance to the ballast layer must be such that the cranking is not hindered by ballast. Mounting sequence Attach the base plates to the ribbed sole-plates or sleepers (see 0). Put the point machine on the base plates. Remove the water drainage stoppers. Hook the detector rods in (in point machines with a point detector). Laterally shift the point machine until the detector rods are in alignment with the detector slides and perpendicular to the stock rail. Put the rodding cover on and check that the play between the slide forks and cover is sufficient (take into account lateral play of the rodding cover). Shift the point machine if necessary. Laterally crank the detector rods so that they cannot become stuck with the slide forks. We recommend to temporarily fix the point machine in this position on the base plates using clamps. Connect the upper detector slide with the short and the lower detector slide with the long detector rod (see 0).

Hook the throw rod in and adjust it so that it is in alignment with the throw bar and in parallel with the detector rod, and both bolts can be easily inserted. In the two end positions equalise the clamp overlap of the toggle-type point lock by varying the throw rod length or shifting the point machine. Make sure the point machine is slightly inclined towards the track in order that no water enters the housing via the detector slides or throw bar.
CAUTION The point machine has an IP rating of IP 54 (see Section 5), i.e. it is dust- and splash-proof. Ingress of water projected in jets or when the point machine is immersed may impair or destroy electrical and mechanical components of the point machine. Thus, the point machine must be installed so that it cannot be immersed in water or affected by water jets.
NOTE Re-tighten the fastening bolts of the point machine at least twice in three to six-weeks intervals.
Check that the point opening at the operating rod is in the admissible range (see also data recording sheet of points).

NOTE If the points fail to reverse (slipping of the transmission clutch), first check the condition of the point blades and toggle-type point lock. If necessary, measure the throwing resistance of the points and throwing force of the point machine using an appropriate meter.
Then run in the point machine and adjust the upper (short) detector rod. If the point opening is in the admissible range of 149 mm to 169 mm, the wide notches take up the correct position automatically.
CAUTION The notches must not be modified.

Inspection and Maintenance
Technical Information relating to Inspection and Maintenance Work
The SIMAX S700 K electric point machine requires little maintenance. All the bearing surfaces remain operational, even if they have not been relubricated for a long period. The SIMAX S700 K electric point machine is insensitive to oils and grease in the machine housing. Any water that enters must be drained off by pulling out the water drainage stopper (see 0). Most of the maintenance jobs required to ensure that the machine is in perfect working order do not take long and can be carried out e.g. during the check of the point locking components by the responsible staff. After each action, check the point machine by throwing the points several times.
CAUTION If you unscrewed or unplugged any cables or internal wiring, make sure you prove the "off" position of the point machine once you have completed the work.

When mounting the clutch housing, make sure the shifting plate engages with the notches of the clamps (see Fig. 20). Replace the retention spring with plenty of grease and turn the tension nut as far as the recorded distance "a". Then seal the retention clutch with leads. Grease the throw bar, and particularly the three notches, thoroughly before fitting it. The throw bar must move easily after the guide flanges have been secured. 8.2.3.8 Remove Cover Lock

Checking the throwing direction and correspondence of point position and indication Connect the modified point machine to the 4-wire, three-phase AC point circuit of the point interface module in accordance with the specifications in the project documentation. Carry out an identity check of the cable wires between interlocking (point unit/point interface module) and the point machine connected using appropriate test methods and measuring instruments before commissioning the point machine with linked points. Then perform the tests described in the following (with end position detector, if any). Electrically reverse the points three times. Check that the point machine moves properly in the correct direction. Check the correspondence between point position (outdoor site), display on the monitor and indication on the point interface module in the two end positions. Check that a throwing movement already initiated can be reversed at any time and from any position. Simulate trailing of points from the two end positions by turning the motor pinion. Point trailing must be indicated on the point interface module and the monitor.

8.3.1
Final Work
Run In the Point Machine
After exchanging mechanical parts, you need to run in the point machine. Connect the point machine to the rated voltage and perform four running-in cycles. A running-in cycle comprises 8 s running and 4 s break.
8.3.2
Add Inspection Stamp

Record the inspection by adding an appropriate stamp in the housing next to the snap switches.
8.4
Testing after Maintenance and Repair Work

The point machine must conform to the equipment design documents, i.e. be free from contamination, surface damage and other defects. It must be taken for granted that the parts have been fastened with the tightening torques prescribed.
8.4.1
High-Voltage Test
Carry out a high-voltage test before performing the running-in. All currentcarrying parts must be tested with respect to each other and to ground with 2500 V, 50 Hz (routine test). After you have carried out a function check-out and equipped the point machine with all parts, e.g. a point detector, test the forked connection pieces of the detector slides to ground and see whether they have the dielectric strength required (high voltage 2500 V, 50 Hz, test time 1 s).
8.4.2
8.4.2.1
Function Check-out
Test Voltage Set the test voltage in accordance with the table shown below. The voltage must only fall below this value for a short time when the point machine starts to move.

8.4.2.2 Retention Force By retention force is meant the force that retains the throw bar in the home positions. It is greater than the maximum throwing force. The retention force is not measured directly but depends as a function of the point machine's design on the size of the trailing resistance. It can be determined from the trailing diagram if required. 8.4.2.3 Trailing Resistance By trailing resistance is meant the resistance the point machine applies in the end position to counteract a force acting as a tensile or compressive force on the throw bar until the retention force is overcome and the retention clutch disengages. The throw bar leaves the end position. In the two end positions of the point machine, apply a continuously rising force onto the throw bar until the retention clutch disengages and the throw bar is no longer retained. The maximum force required for this corresponds to the trailing resistance as given in the table below. 8.4.2.4 Throwing Force By throwing force is meant the force acting as a tensile or compressive force on the throw bar while the point machine performs the throwing of the points without any slipping of the transmission clutch. The test is performed at a line resistance of 0 O. Set test load 1 in accordance with the table below. The point machine must move from both end positions to the other end position related without a slipping of the transmission clutch. With test load 2, the point machine must not reach any of the two end positions and the transmission clutch must slip. 8.4.2.5 Blocking Blocking is understand to be a process in which the movement of the throw bar is mechanically hindered and the transmission clutch slips. If the throw bar is blocked in a position unlike the end position, a change in direction must be performed at least once and max. three times in each direction. The throw bar is blocked e.g. in the mid-way position and the direction of rotation of the motor reversed several times so that the transmission clutch slips alternately in both directions of rotation. When doing so, the retention clutch must not disengage.
8.4.2.6
Throwing Time and Running Current By running current is meant the current that can be measured during the throwing process after the peak starting current descended. By throwing time is meant the time the point machine requires from the switch-on of the operating voltage to contact changeover in the other end position. Set the line resistance and test load 3 in accordance with the table below. The point machine must reach both end positions within the throwing time specified in

the table below. The running current specified in the table must only be briefly exceeded when the point machine starts to move. The running current is independent of the direction of rotation of the motor.
