DAMPER DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Hydraulic dampers should meet the following design requirements:
4.1

End mountings / Silent blocks / Spheribloc: End mounting with better quality of rubber
(Shore hardness between 60 to 70 Shore A) should be provided. Arrangement to fit dust caps
should be such that it does not get loose or detached during locomotive operation.

4.2

Clearance between mounting bolts & damper eye: Strict adherence to specified tolerance
has been recommended between damper eye and its mounting bolt to avoid impact loading
during operation.

4.3

Installation of dampers: The nut & bolts for the fitment of damper in position should be
provided by the damper supplier along with the damper to avoid any play in the fitment which
can control the failure of silent blocks/ mounting bolts. The OEM should indicate the torque
value for tightening the damper mounting bolts (hexagonal head bolts) to mount dampers on
locomotive. Latest locking aids like disc lock washers should be supplied along with dampers to
prevent loosening of mounting bolts due to vibrations during locomotive operation.

4.4

Provision of oil seals: An oil seal along with a special sealing ring has been recommended in
lock ring (cover) should be to avoid ingress of dust inside the damper. These seals should
provide less friction, should be capable of withstanding higher pressure and should be wear
resistant should to achieve higher working life and reliability.

4.5

Improvement in dust cover and casing tube: Dust covers break from its joint with the Piston
Rod Eye. Extra strengthening of joint and use of seamless tubes for protection cover and
casing tubes has been recommended to increase the life of dampers.

Specification for Hydraulic Dampers of WDG3A, WDM3D (With equalizer & compensating mech.) & WDM3A (with ATHS bogies) Locomotives

4.6

Improvement in surface finish of cylinder & piston rod: A superfine finish of these subcomponents will help controlling their excessive wear. OEMs have been recommended to
maintain a surface finish of 10 to 35 m or better for cylinder after honing and 0.1 to 0.3 m for
piston rod after hard chrome to achieve the desired results.

4.7

Positive locking of Piston and Piston rod: Due to higher forces encountered at higher
operating speeds, there is a possibility that piston could rotate and free itself from piston rod.
Therefore, positive locking of piston with piston ring has been recommended like use of circlip,
nylock nuts etc.

4.8

Installation height of dampers: Installation height of dampers should be maintained to the

specified limits such that the designed stroke length is available in tensile and compression
stroke and the piston does not reach the extreme positions during locomotive run. This will help
in protecting damper from excessive/ shock loading.

4.9

Improvements in damping oil: OEMs have been advised to use damping oil such that they
do not lose their viscosity during service with temperature variation to an extent, which can
affect damping characteristics of damper.

4.10 Rubber components: The rubber components being used inside the damper are exposed to
oil. Hence, the rubber being used for these components should have good resistance to oil
absorption, sufficient to sustain a minimum of 48 months life.
4.11 Internal design: The internal mechanism with a provision of discharge valve so that, in any
odd situation and hyper characteristics of the force of oil beyond a prescribed limit may
discharge automatically to prevent the failure of the damping system.
4.12 Sealing arrangement: One of the major causes of damper failures is ingress of dust along
with piston rod. Specific measures to guard against dust have been recommended like use of
sealing arrangements with better wiping properties, provision of additional dust lip etc.
4.13 Cleanliness of damper components: The cleanness of critical damper parts has to be of high
standards. Ultra-sonic cleaning of critical parts is desirable for long life of dampers. Any dust or
burrs will damage the seals, surfaces and properties of oil. Cleaning of other parts to be done
by machine wash.
4.14 Leak test of sub-assemblies: Internal leakages in the damper can deteriorate in service
leading to loss of damping forces. Hence, leak test of sub-assemblies have been introduced
before final assembly.
