AUTOMATIC PRESSURE MODIFICATION:-

It restricts the brake cylinder pressure coming from
the Distributor valve to 2.2 0.25 Kg/cm 2 in empty condition
of the wagon and allows the brake cylinder pressure of 3.8
0.1 Kg/cm2 in loaded condition of the wagon.
The factory setting for the movement of the sensor point
is 104mm which is consisting of loaded & empty zone. First

The brake cylinder receives pneumatic pressure from auxiliary reservoir after
being regulated through the distributor valve and APM device. Brake cylinder
develops mechanical brake power by outward movement of its piston with ram
assembly.

The piston rod assembly is connected to the brake shoes through a system of rigging
arrangement to amplify and transmit the brake power. The compression spring provided
in the brake cylinder brings back the ram thus the rigging is also brought to its original
position when brake is released.

NEED FOR ADOPTION OF BMBS
IN FREIGHT STOCK:

In order to overcome the problem faced in conventional

bogie breakage, missing components and malfunctioning of
SAB. In BMBS fitted wagons, BC is equipped with in
built SAB.
In conventional BOXN/BCN wagons due to frequent theft of control
rod, main pull Rod, End pull rod & Brake Rigging parts in
tripling operation of wagons causing poor brake power in
Rakes, resulting Detentions of wagons. In BMBS, wagons
these Items are eliminated.
In order to Improve Mechanical efficiency of
brake power.
In a Normal Rake of BOXN wagon Fitted with conventional type
brake system there was around 18% Brake fading after a trial run of
BOGIE MOUNTED BRAKE SYSTEM
NEED FOR ADOPTION OF BMBS
IN FREIGHT STOCK:
Braking distance of conventional Rake of 58 +1 wagons of
BOXN is 1350 m.
However in BMBS wagons it is 880 m (approx).

In conventional wagons setting of A Dimension was a

major problem. If any change made in sleeve nuts of E/L
device that may create to heavy loss of wagon creating brake
binding / wheel skidding. In order to overcome this, BMBS
fitted wagons came into field which contains in built slack
adjuster.

In case of BMBS system Automatic Load sensing

Device is used which Gives 2.2Kg/cm2 Pressure to
brake cylinder during empty condition 3.8 Kg/cm2
pressure during loaded for avoiding the above
Problems.
BOGIE MOUNTED BRAKE SYSTEM
SILENT FEATURES
Use of two nos. of 10 dia brake cylinders with automatic load
sensing device & vent isolating cocks.
Use of 58 mm thick K type non asbestos composite brake block.

A constant 56 mm piston stroke is required to maintain uniform and

efficient braking performance.

Application of loads is at the ends the brake beam instead of centre

resulted no chances of bending of brake beams.

Cylinder is with double acting slack adjustment feature with constant

piston stroke resulting in uniform brake performances even as the brake
shoes and wheels wears.
Total slack adjusting capacity is 500 mm including brake block wear,
wheel wear and all clearances.
BOGIE MOUNTED BRAKE SYSTEM
SILENT FEATURES
All cylinders are equipped with an automatic piston
stroke indicator.
Replacement of the brake head is quickly and easy by
removal by only one pin.
Provision of mechanical hand brake system with the use of
two nos stainless hand brake cables pulled through
standard hand brake rigging.
Easy fitment of bogie mounted cylinder on any standard
bogies without making any modifications.
Cylinder is mounted parallel to the brake beam and
transfers forces through the bell cranks.
Improves the efficiency and alignments of the braking
forces with the wheels which reduced the wear of shoes
and wheels.
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.
BOGIE MOUNTED BRAKE SYSTEM
DISADVANTAGES
The system requires special parts for working
such as push rod, bell crank lever, hand brake
cable,BC indicators & etc, which are not easily
available and very costly.
Bk. Cylinder fails working even if there is a very
small defect noticed in distributor valve / if DV
releasing time slightly more / if APM failed.

This type of wagon can not be mixed with a

normal rake of conventional type.
More wear & tear is noticed near eye hole in
push rod.
High skilled worker are required for maintenance
of these wagons.
