Sub: Cases of dropping of Oiler Ring of Earthing Device/Phonic Wheel and/or Security Disc in
FIAT Bogie of LHB Coaches.

Ref: (i). This office letter of even No. dated 08.07.2021.

(ii). Eastern Railway letter No. dated 29.07.2021.
(iii). En-route detachment of LHB Coach No. NFR 192058/C LWSCN1 from Train No.
05959 (HWH-DBRG) Kamrup Spl. Exp. on 03.05.2021 at GHY/NFR.
(iv). En-route detachment of LHB Coach No. ECR 197343/C LWS from Train No. 05563
(JYG-UDN Spl.) at BSL/CR on 09.05.2021.

Twenty-Seven cases of en-route detachments of LHB Coaches have been reported to this
office since April, 2020 (21 cases in year 2020-2021 & 06 cases in present year) due to hot
axle/Bearing Failure. In these, cases of dropping of Oiler Ring of Earthing Device/Phonic Wheel and/or
Security Disc from Axle end face have also been reported to this office.

Out of Six cases in current year, five cases were in axle boxes having earthing devices. Two
cases (Coach No. NFR 192058/C LWSCN1 on 03.05.2021 & Coach No. ECR 197343/C LWS on
09.05.2021) out of these five cases were occurred due to dropping of oiler ring of earthing device for
loosening/breakage of M8 screws of oiler ring/M20 screws of Axle End. In study & examination, it has
come to notice that there is possibility to increase length of M8X25 screws of Oiler Ring of Earthing
Device by 5 mm and increase tightening torque of M8 Screws/Bolts. Accordingly, fitment trial of oiler
ring of earthing device with M8X30 screws instead of existing M8X25 screws with increased tightening
torque of 30 Nm was planned at MCF/RBL & C&W Workshop/ER/Howrah vide letter under reference
(i).

Vide letter under reference (ii), Eastern Railway has informed that they have mounted oiler
rings of both earthing devices of LHB Coach No. ER 05116/C LWACCN on 24.07.2021 with M8X30
screws with Loctite 243 & tightening torque of 30 Nm.

Moreover, representations from fastener manufacturers have also been received for inclusion
of their brands in existing RDSO Drawing No. CG-15067 (Hex. Head Screw for CTRB M20X60), CG-
15070 (Hex. Head Screw for Earthing Device of CTRB M8X25) & CG-15071 (Hex. Head Bolt for
Phonic Wheel of CTRB M8X25).

To resolve/minimize the cases of enroute detachment of LHB Coaches due to dropping of

Oiler Ring of Earthing Device/Phonic Wheel and/or Security Disc from Axle end face leading to Hot
Axle/Bearing Failure, competent authority has accorded approval for necessary alteration in RDSO
Drawing No. CG-15067, CG-15070 & CG-15071. The same altered drawings as below are attached
herewith for implementation in field:

S. Drawing No. Changes Made

No.
1. CG-15067 Alt.1 for *Note No.1 revised as “Make of Hex. Head Screw shall be as per
Hex. Head Screw ICF Drawing No. T-0-2-619 (Latest Alteration)” to increase the

(LHB Shell with
FIAT Bogies)
2. CG-15070 Alt.1 for 1. Length of Screw increased by 5 mm for proper holding of Oiler
Hex. Head Screw Ring at Security Disc.
for Earthing 2. *Note No.1 revised as “Make of Hex. Head Screw shall be as per
device of CTRB ICF Drawing No. T-0-2-619 (Latest Alteration)” to increase the
M8X30 (LHB Shell vendor base for subject item.
with FIAT 3. New Note No.11 added as “Tightening Torque shall be 30 Nm”

3. CG-15071 Alt.1 for 1. *Note No.1 revised as “Make of Hex. Head Screw shall be as per
Hex. Head Bolt for ICF Drawing No. T-0-2-619 (Latest Alteration)” to increase the
Phonic wheel of vendor base for subject item.
CTRB M8X35 2. New Note No.11 added as “Tightening Torque shall be 30 Nm”
(LHB Shell with for proper holding of Phonic Wheel at Security Disc.
FIAT Bogies)
*As on date only TVS/DFL/UNBRAKO/LPS/TUFF Make/Brands specified in referred ICF
Drawing No. T-0-2-619.

ICF/Chennai shall ensure that any change/modification in referred ICF Drawing No. T-
0-2-619, specially regarding addition/deletion of make of fasteners be communicated to all
Zonal Railways/PUs & RDSO well in advance.

Zonal Railways and PUs are also requested to follow the procedure as below during
locking/unlocking of the screws/bolt used for CTRB of FIAT bogies:

i. The axle end holes should be checked with GO - NO GO thread plug gauge for correct size
and thread condition. If any of the tapped hole is worn out, the axle shall be detained in
workshop for thorough examination and repair as per maintenance manual for LHB Coaches.
ii. End locking plates should be replaced every time its folds are opened to unscrew Hex. Head
Screw for CTRB M20X60.
iii. The locking screws/bolt should be of high tensile steel and of reputed brands as mentioned in
the applicable drawings. The condition of their threads should be checked with GO-NO GO
thread ring gauges and worn out bolts must be replaced.
iv. The threaded holes of Security Disc should be checked with GO - NO GO thread plug gauge
for correct size and thread condition. If any of the threaded hole is worn out, the Security Disc
should be scrapped.
 File [Link]-CARR0VDG(CTRB)/2/2020-O/o ED/CARRIAGE/RDSO-Part(1)

v. The locking screws/bolt head should be free from any damages and should have proper
spanner grip. The locking screws/bolt in service should not be reused unless they meet the
above standards.
vi. The locking screws/bolt while fitting should have no radial or axial play and be tightened with
specified torques. Torque wrenches used for torqueing of bolts/screws should be calibrated.
vii. Washers of M8X35 bolts of Phonic wheel & M8X30 screws of oiler ring of Earthing Device of
CTRBs should be replaced in every unlocking of the bolts/screws.
viii. Use of LOCTITE or equivalent glue should be mandatory for fastening of screw/bolts.

DA: As above.
