Abstract
A device for monitoring wear of a flange (1) of a roller (2) includes a peripheral rim (3) and intended to cooperate with a homologous flange (1bis) of a roller (2bis) positioned face-to-face to interact with the head of a rolling rail (4). The device includes at least one first recess localized at the level of a peripheral line of constant radius on the flange (1) configured to be positioned at the level at which the point (7) of separation of the flange (1) relative to its homologue (1bis) is the smallest.
Claims9
A flange of roller coaster comprising:
- a device for monitoring wear of said flange of a roller having a peripheral rim, the flange of a roller being arranged to cooperating with a homologous flange of a roller positioned face-to-face to interact with the head of a rolling rail, said device has
- at least one first recess localized at the level of a peripheral line of constant radius on the flange configured to be positioned at the level at which the point of separation of the flange relative to its homologue is the smallest, the roller of the flange being mounted on an axle inclined relative to vertical, and a peripheral line of constant radius on the flange is positioned at the level of a point on an upper surface of a rim, a tangent to which is oriented along a substantially vertical axis.
