Railway transport plays a special role in the transportation of oil and petroleum products. Ensuring the speed and reliability of transportation is one of the important issues. The role of railroad switch electric drives in solving this problem is great. Package type «AN» reducer have a number of advantages over traditional ones. The article presents the features and the essence of increasing the technological and exploitational parameters of the transmission mechanism of railroad switches with the help of a new innovative package type «AN» reducer, developed at AzTU. An analysis of the work of friction on plain bearings used in package reducers, instead of keyed connections in traditional gearboxes, is given. The effectiveness of the use of package type «AN» reducers in the transmission mechanisms of railroad switch electric drives has been revealed. Keywords: railroad switch drive; mechanism; innovative; increase; reducer; reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
