Adjustment Work Single Arm Pantograph WBL 85 Balfour Beatty 10.3 Adjusting the Bellow Drive Check: Lift and lower the pantograph. Parallelism of the connection plate (1) to the base shaft (2) of the lower frame has to be assured during the raising and lowering procedures.
The medium contact pressure is 120 N. After each replacement of carbon strip the contact pressure needs to be verified. Contact pressure may be measured with a spring scale or with the SCHUNK Pantograph Contact Pressure Measuring Gauge KM 11.
Adjustment Work Single Arm Pantograph WBL 85 Balfour Beatty 10.5 Adjustment of Raising- and Lowering Time The adjustment of the raising and lowering time can be made by turning the regulation screw (2) of the throttle valve (1). Throttle Valve (1)
Turns counter clockwise = contact pressure decreases in the lower working range Adjustment is required until curve of contact pressure is nearly constant over the entire working range. Verification with spring balance or with the SCHUNK pantograph contact pressure measuring gauge KM 11.
Adjustment Work Single Arm Pantograph WBL 85 Balfour Beatty 10.7. Adjust Turning of Pan Head The adjustment of the panheadturning has to be made in medium workingheight of the pantograph (about 1100 mm above resting position). By means of the adjustment on the parallelguide, the contact strip surface (A) has to be adjusted to an exact horizontal position.
