In article examines the indicator of the energy efficiency of the locomotive as an indicator of the quality repair and use the power (energy efficiency) of the locomotive. This indicator is calculated for electric locomotives that have undergone current repair of MW-3 or repair of a similar volume, based on the predicted additional power losses in the limiting units and units of the locomotive, determined taking into account their technical parameters and characteristics obtained as a result of the repair. The application of the proposed indicator as an indicator the efficiency the use of electric locomotives will allow to influence the improvement of their technical condition through the management the quality of repairs and the use of power.

The article describes the main provisions of the optimized system of the electric locomotives maintenance service and repair, as well as the results of the experiment to increase between-repairs run of the electric locomotives in the Eastern polygon. The author examines the impact of techno-logical preparation of production on the quality of repair and the number of failures in the transi-tion to a more streamlined system. The article proposes a method of calculation of adjustment and development cost of technological documentation, which is an integral part of technological prepa-ration of production. The cost calculation includes qualifications and salaries of industrial engi-neers, the complexity and volume of developed or adjusted technological documentation. The author gives the example of calculation of adjustment and development cost of technological docu-mentation in depot conditions. The economic effect from the implementation of this methodology and optimized system repair shows its effectiveness and viability. Due to the adjustments of techno-logical processes of the electric locomotives repair, the number of failures during operation, dis-covered during the experiment in the Eastern polygon, will decrease. Benefit from the increased between-repairs run and reducing the complexity of some of the repairs will cover the costs of im-plementation of the optimized system.

The article is devoted to the development of a methodology for monitoring the alignment and radial runout of the inner cylindrical seating surfaces of locomotive motor-axle bearings. The main reasons for the wear of the working surfaces of the bearings and the consequences of the influence of the clearances in the interfaces of the plain bearings and the axles of the wheelsets on the increase in the intensity of wear of the parts and the deterioration of the dynamic characteristics of the running gear of the locomotive are listed. The paper presents a basic diagram of the basing and control of deviations from alignment and radial runout of the inner cylindrical surfaces of bearings, describes the design and principle of operation of a special control device for measuring these deviations. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the feasibility of monitoring deviations from the shape and location of surfaces during the repair of motor-axial bearings. The paper describes the sequence of steps for measuring the alignment and radial runout of bearings and the interpretation of the measurement results. The features of the design of the control device are considered, the advantages of its use are listed in comparison with the existing analogues of the devices used to control the alignment of the holes of the body parts located on the same axis. At the same time, it was found that the control of alignment and radial runout must be carried out in order to assess the possible degree of misalignment of the traction motor frame and the axle of the wheelset of the locomotive after repair. Thus, the conclusions obtained confirm the need to tighten quality control of the restoration of locomotive motor-axle bearings by introducing into the production process the operations to control the alignment and radial runout of motor-axle necks and motor-axle bearing liners made of lead bronze, tin or lead-tin babbits.

The problems of optimization of organization of maintenance and repair of locomotives. The article presents new approaches for calculating the norms of spare parts and materials. Models of vehicle systems consisting of a fleet of operated locomotives are given, taking into account all conditions.

The article is devoted to the problem of elimination of thermomechanical damage on the surface of rolling wheel pairs of cars, which arising from the use of brake shoes to reduce their speed. A new design of the brake shoe equipped with electromagnets, which provides braking without jamming the wheel pair. Article contains calculation of the braking force and the provide slowdown .
