4 Constructional Details and Principle of
Operation
4.1 Functions of the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine
The Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine with internal locking is used to operate
points without their own locking components. It has the following functions:
• operate points
• retain switch rails in end positions
• lock switch rails in end positions
• prove home position of switch rails electrically
The Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine is available as a trailable and a non-trailable
version. In addition, the models differ in the type of motor current, throwing stroke,
throwing force and throwing time. A throwing movement already initiated can be
reversed at any time and from any position. If the current fails, the point machine can
be operated using a crank handle.
DANGER
For point machines without a voltage cut-off switch,
appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the point
machine from connecting on restoration of power when
operating it by means of the crank handle.
4.2 Constructional Details
The cast-iron housing 1 equipped with a sheet steel cover accommodates the motor
2 with flange-mounted gearbox 3, transmission gearing 4 with transmission clutch
(friction type) and retention spring, gear racks 8 that can be locked as well as a
contact assembly 5. The point machine can be supplied with or without detector
slides 7.
The rotary movement of the motor is converted into the straight movement of the
gear racks via transmission gearing. The operating rods 9 are linked to the gear
racks. They transmit the movement of the gear racks to the switch rails.

Detector slides prove the home (end) positions of the switch rails. They are
connected to the switch rails by means of detector rods. A home position is not
indicated by the contact assembly until after the switch rails have reached their end
positions, point locking has been proven and end positions of point machine and
points coincide.
In case of power failure, the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine can be reversed
locally using a crank handle. In order to avoid any danger for the operator should the
power suddenly be restored, a voltage cut-off switch 10 is attached to the motor
shaft. The voltage cut-off switch can be either crank handle- or key-released. The
crank handle cannot be inserted until after operating the cut-off switch (or the cut-off
switch is operated by the crank handle).

Fig. 1 Schematic representation of the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine
version. In trailable point machines, the closed switch rail is locked by a locking
segment engaging with a locking recess on the gear rack. The open switch rail is

held firmly in position by the retention spring. In non-trailable point machines, both
switch rails are locked and a locking piece is used instead of the retention spring.
4.3 Throwing Process
The following description refers to trailable point machines. A driving disc 20, two
gear wheel segments 11 and between these two the locking segment 12 (Figs. 2 and
3) are mounted to the gear shaft. The gear wheel segments are in mesh with the two
gear racks 8a and 8b. At the end of a throwing movement, the gear rack of the
already closed switch rail stops because its gear wheel segment is no longer
engaged (Fig. 2c). The gear rack of the open switch rail continues to move. While
doing so, the locking segment 12 engages with the locking recess 13 of the already
stationary gear rack (locking stroke).

Fig. 2 Engaging of the locking segment
In the end positions of the point machine, roller 15 of one of the contact levers of the
contact assembly 5 falls into the locking notch of the retention disc 16, switching off
the motor current and switching on the detection current by doing so. The locking
segment of the gear rack of the closed switch rail engages with the associated
locking recess (Fig. 2d), while the gear wheel segment is ineffective. The gear wheel
segment of the gear rack of the open switch rail engages with the rack teeth.
Upon reversal of the points, gear rim 18, via friction ring 19 tensioned by clutch
spring 21, first takes lift-out disc 17 along, which, by means of the slanting edge,
pushes the engaged roller out of the locking notch of the retention disc, thus
releasing the switch rail.

15 roller 22 spring lever
16 retention disc 23 retention spring
Fig. 3 Transmission gearing
After this idle stroke, the driving and the retention disc start to move together.
The gear wheel segment of the closed switch rail is still ineffective so that its gear
rack remains stationary for the time being. The gear rack of the open switch rail,
however, is moved by its gear wheel segment. The locking segment mounted on the
gear shaft turns downwards and releases the locking of the closed switch rail. As
soon as the locking recess is free, the second gear wheel segment also engages
with the gear rack. Now, both gear racks are moved by their gear wheel segments.
The switch rail that was open at the beginning of the throwing operation is now the
first to be closed. Its gear wheel segment does not engage any longer. The locking
segment engages with the locking recess, thus locking the already closed switch rail.
On the second gear rack, the locking segment is in the free-wheeling notch 14. Here,
the gear wheel segment engages with the gear rack.
During this process, the rollers of the two contact levers move on the edges of the
lift-out and retention discs and hold the motor contacts in the closed position,
thereby making possible a reversal in mid-stroke at any time. After completion of the
throwing operation, one contact lever falls into the notch of the retention disc,
thereby interrupting the control current and closing the detection circuit.
Stopping surfaces and corresponding stoppers in the housing limit the movement of
the driving disc.
If the throwing resistance of the points exceeds the slipping force set, the point
machine starts to slip. Both contact lever rollers are on the edges of the lift-out and
retention discs. The detection contacts remain open and a failure indication is
issued.
4.4 Trailing Process
When points are trailed, the open switch rail is forced in the direction of the stock
rail. This force is transmitted via the operating rod 9 to the gear rack 8b and driving
disc 20. The driving disc is prevented from rotation by the retention spring 23. In the
end position of the point machine, the retention disc 16 is blocked by the roller of
one of the contact levers. This prevents the driving disc from moving. Once the force
exerted by the switch rail exceeds the force of the retention spring 23, this one is
compressed and the driving disc can move a little with respect to the retention disc
(Fig. 4), thereby taking along the lift-out disc 17 via a spring lever. As it is the case
for the throwing process, this unlocks the retention disc and the retention spring is
released. As the gearing is not self-locking, the gear rack can turn the gearing
including the motor pinion backwards through the force exerted by the switch rail.
After trailing, the point machine remains in the position attained. Via the contact
levers, the movement of the lift-out disc caused the detection contacts 5 to switch
over, thereby issuing a "points trailed" indication to the interlocking.

Non-trailable point machines have a locking piece in place of the retention spring. In
the end position, both gear racks are locked. If, nevertheless, the points are trailed,
the point machine or rodding may be damaged.

4.5 Contact Assembly
The contact assembly consists of two contact levers 5 with rollers 15 and contact
springs. It is used to switch over the motor and switch on and off the detection
current. There are two types of contact assemblies, depending on the contacts used:
a) Contact assembly with contact rollers
This contact assembly consists of two changeover contacts designed as double

contacts. Separate contact points are provided for the closing of circuits and
current interruption. The double contacts work in conjunction with contact
rollers. These are rotatable and stepped forward each time the current is switch
on or off. Thus, the entire circumference of the roller participates in contact
making.
b) Contact assembly with contact fingers
This contact assembly consists of four changeover contacts. As the switching

element, a set of contact springs with silver-plated contact surfaces is used.
These ones are self-cleaning owing to the friction-type contact making.
4.6 Electromagnetic Brake
After trailing, the switch rails must be retained with a defined force (2,500 N ± 500 N
or 3,500 N ± 500 N according to the transmission ratio of the gearbox). For this
purpose, the point machines can be equipped with an electromagnetic brake.
A brake disc is mounted on the motor shaft of motors equipped with a brake. An
electromagnetically controlled brake shoe acts upon the brake disc. When the motor
is stationary, the brake shoe, by means of a spring force, exerts a braking torque of
about 0.75 Nm on the disc.
If a voltage is applied to the motor, simultaneously the magnet is excited and the
brake shoe lifted overcoming the spring force.

4.7 Point Throwing with a Crank Handle
In case of power failure, the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine can be reversed
locally using a crank handle. The crank handle is inserted into the side of the
machine housing (see Fig. 5).
DANGER
Before you start working on the track, inform the traffic
controller responsible and observe the regulations of the
respective railway authority. Point machines with a
crank handle- or key-released voltage cut-off switch
protect the operator in the event of sudden power
restoration. For point machines without a voltage cut-off
switch, the voltage must be disconnected in the signal
box or another place.

6 Trackside Mounting
Rods are necessary for the transmission of power from point machine to points and
detection of switch rails. They establish a flexible connection between the gear racks
of the point machine and the switch rails as well as between the detector slides of
the point machine and the switch rails.
Depending on the type and layout of the points, various kinds of operating and
detector rods are required. Fig. 8 shows the most common rodding with detector
rods for trailable point machines. Fig. 9 shows the mounting position for non-trailable
point machines.
The point machine is fixed to two extended sleepers. As the movement of the rails is
transferred to the point machine when a train traverses the points, the signalling
cable has to be introduced into a junction box located near the point machine.
Protected, flexible connecting cables are used for the connection to the terminals of
the point machine.

7 Commissioning
Prior to commissioning, the gearbox of the motor has to be filled with motor oil. This
is done through hole 1 (see Fig. 10); the oil quantity is limited by an overflow pipe 2.
A certain amount of time elapses before the oil soaks the felt pad 3 and passes
through the drain hole 4 to reach the gear space. It is therefore appropriate to top up
the oil slowly in doses of about 10 cm3 so as to keep the quantity of oil flowing out
from the overflow pipe small.
NOTE
Shell Aero-Fluid 4 oil is prescribed for countries with
temperatures below -30 °C. For all other countries
including the tropics use commercially available SAE 10
W/40 motor oil.

8 Maintenance and Repair
8.1 Technical Information relating to Maintenance and

Repair Work
The Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine requires little maintenance. All the bearing
surfaces remain operational, even if they have not been relubricated for a long
period. The design of the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine is such that its
functional safety is maintained even if only little maintenance work has been carried
out.
The Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine is insensitive to oils and grease in the
machine housing. Any water that enters must be drained off by pulling out the water
drainage stopper.
Most of the maintenance jobs required to ensure that the machine is in perfect working
order do not take long and can be carried out e.g. during the check of the point locking
components by the responsible staff.
All work on the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine is to be carried out in accordance
with the current railway regulations.
DANGER
The Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine must be
disconnected from the power supply at an appropriate
point. Make sure, in addition, the point machine remains
disconnected during the maintenance and repair work
DANGER
When you remove the cover of the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric
Point Machine, please take into account that the
machine is still carrying a current. Rotating components
or parts moving in longitudinal direction are liable to
cause injury or damage. The voltage cut-off switch does
impede the reversal of the point machine but only parts
of it are isolated from power.
After completion of maintenance and repair work, check that the normal position of
the point machine is correct before permitting operation, i.e. that point position and
indication are corresponding. Check the operability of the point machine by throwing
the points several times.
CAUTION
If you unscrewed or unplugged any cables or internal
wiring, make sure you prove the "off" position of the
point machine once you have completed the work.

You must be able to open and close the housing cover exerting only little pressure.
If the cover lock is difficult to operate, first check the bolt hook is functioning
properly.
If the lock is stiff, lubricate it.
In the winter, if the lock is frozen, you can use a de-icing agent.
If these measures prove unsuccessful, exchange the lock.
8.3.2 Open Machine Housing and Check Interior
Keep the interior of the point machine housing clean and dry. Grease and oil inside
the housing do not affect the operation of the machine.
8.3.3 Check Condition of Cable Harness
Make sure the cable harness is held firmly in the cable clamp provided.
If the cable harness is damaged, it must be exchanged.

8.3.4 Inspect Components
Examine the components of the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine to see if they are
damaged.
8.3.5 Check Connection between Machine Housing and Rail

(Earthing)
The rules and regulations of the local railway authority must be observed.
Check that the connecting wire is securely attached to the earthing screw of the
point machine.
8.3.6 Check Crank Handle Latch and Voltage Cut-off Switch
In point machines with a crank handle-released voltage cut-off switch, the operation
of the motor using the crank handle must only be possible if the limit switch has
completely actuated.
In point machines with a key-released voltage cut-off switch, the insertion of the
crank handle must only be possible if the voltage cut-off switch has reliably opened.
CAUTION
Do not use force when testing.
Using the nut on the fork head, you can readjust the length of the connecting rod as
required. The play should be made as small as possible.
8.3.7 Check Machine is Secure
Check that all clamping screws of the terminals, all fastening bolts as well as all bolts
and bushings of the operating and detector rods are tight.

8.4 Maintenance Work
The maintenance work to be done on the Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine
comprises greasing and oiling of components and touching up of defects in the coat
of lacquer. Use the following detergents, lubricants and paints:
• white spirit
• SAE 10 W/40 oil
CAUTION
grease. It can irritate the skin or cause other allergic
reactions. Only apply it using gloves and appropriate
tools (e.g. a brush).
8.4.1 Biannual Maintenance
After about 10,000 throwing operations (or in case of less frequently operated points
in six-months intervals), all external lubricating nipples (see Fig. 12) must be
lubricated by about ten strokes of the grease gun. The point machine is not to be
opened for this purpose!

Lubricating points: for grease
for oil
Fig. 12 Internal and external lubricating points
8.4.2 Annual Maintenance
After about 100,000 throwing operations (or in case of less frequently operated
points once a year), the following tasks have to be carried out.
Lubricate internal and external lubricating points
All internal and external lubricating points have to be lubricated thoroughly (see
Fig. 12). The greasing points are equipped with lubricating nipples. Lubrication is
done using a grease gun. Grease adhering to the lubricating nipples must be wiped
away so that they do not encrust.
1. Lubricating pads located inside the lubricating cover for lubricating the locking
recess must be saturated with about 10 cm3 oil per hole.
2. Both lubricating nipples of the transmission clutch must be greased with about 20
strokes each of the grease gun.
3. The lubricating nipples of the lever bearings of the contact assembly must be
greased with about four strokes each of the grease gun.
4. The felt pads in the spring guides and in the contact lever rollers of the contact
assembly must be saturated with motor oil (e.g. SAE 10W/40).
5. The oil supply in the gearbox is to be topped up (see Section 7, Fig. 10).
When using a grease gun, count only those strokes which offer a perceptible
resistance to operation, i.e. when actually grease and not air is being pressed in.
The lubricant used must be a high-grade grease (e.g. Molub-Alloy 243 Arktik
grease).
Clean contact assembly, exchange contact rollers and sets of contact springs
if required
Examine the contact assembly to see if the contact rollers and springs are in a
perfect condition. The contact rollers of the control contacts should be easy to turn
on their shafts. If they show slight signs of burning, they must be cleaned.
Severely burned contact rollers and sets of contact springs are to be replaced by
new ones. By removing a hexagon nut, the contact rollers can be easily taken out for
cleaning or replacement.
When replacing contact rollers, care has to be taken that:

• the contact springs are not deadjusted when removing and inserting the contact
rollers
• the shafts are cleaned and greased prior to insertion of the contact rollers
When the sets of contacts springs with silver-plated contacts show signs of
excessive wear, they must also be exchanged.
Replace worn-out carbon brushes
The carbon brushes have been designed for an operating time of about 2,000 hours.
Use the same carbon brushes as the manufacturer. Worn-out carbon brushes must
be replaced. If the commutator is dirty, i.e. shows no bright or uniformly dark,
metallic surface, or if it shows signs of excessive wear, the motor must be detached
and overhauled in an authorised workshop.
The carbon brushes in DC and AC motors are accessible through two lateral
openings in the end shields of the motor. Through these openings, the condition of
the commutator can also be inspected. Take care these openings are tightly closed
by the covers with rubber gaskets in order to prevent dust from entering the motor.
Touch up defects in the coat of lacquer
Defects in the coat of lacquer must be primed applying an appropriate anticorrosive

paint (e.g. red lead).
After drying of the anticorrosive paint, the following lacquers must be applied:
1. RAL 7031 (dark grey, mat) for motor, switch pedestal, voltage cut-off switch,
interior of housing
2. RAL 3002 (red, mat) for gearing parts

8.5 Repair Work
8.5.1 Technical Information relating to Repair Work
A Bsg. antr. 9 Electric Point Machine must be repaired by qualified staff only in the

8.5.3 Removal and Cleaning
Motor
Disconnect the connecting wires, undo the two fastening bolts and remove the
motor.

Contact assembly
Undo two bolts and remove the contact assembly from the locating pins.
Gear racks and locking rods
Take off the protective cover and remove the wipers. Remove the guide flanges
provided at the sides of the housing by undoing a hexagon bolt each. Manually turn
the transmission gearing until the locking segment leaves the locking recess. Now,
the gear racks can be removed.
Transmission gearing
Undo two fastening bolts per bearing pedestal and remove the transmission gearing
from the locating pins.
Detector slides
The detector slides can be simultaneously pulled out sideways from the housing.
Dismantle the point machine in the workshop.
Wash the following components with petroleum and dry them using a fluff-free cloth:
• bearing surfaces and all machined surfaces inside the housing
• operating rods, locking rods and detector slides
• flanges of operating rod guides and guide flanges of detector slides
• caps, gaskets and protective covers
• bearing pedestals of transmission clutch
• all components of the transmission clutch
The bearing pedestals are equipped with Teflon-coated bushings. Press them out
before washing the pedestals. When assembling the point machine, use new
bushings.
8.5.4 Repairing the Motor
The motors should only be repaired or overhauled in an authorised workshop.

8.5.4.1 Dismantling and Cleaning
For motors with a brake, unscrew the electromagnetic brake.
Dismantle the motor and remove the oil in the gearbox.
Wash the pinions, gear wheels, gearbox housing, flange bearings, end shields and
bearing covers with petroleum and dry them using a fluff-free cloth.
Pull off the ball bearings using a pull-off device.
Clean the ball bearings and shaft stubs of the armature with white spirit. Take care
the armature winding does not come into contact with the detergent. Then, immerse
the bearings in 50 °C warm spindle oil and turn the outer ring against the inner ring.
If the rings stick, use a new bearing. When forcing the bearing on, pressure must
only be exerted on the inner ring.
Only for DC and AC motors:
• Examine the carbon brushes and exchange them if the length is below "l":
DC motors: "l" 17.0 mm (EG 17 carbon brush: 8x10x25)
AC motors: "l" 14.75 mm (E 33 carbon brush: 5x10x20)

d = 25.5 mm d = 21 mm d = total length
Fig. 13 Carbon brushes of the motor (schematic representation)
The contact surface of new carbon brushes must be rounded in order to fit the
commutator (2/3 of the cross-section must be in contact with the commutator). If this
is not the case, clamp the carbon brush in the brush holder, put on the pressure
lever, wrap a strip of fine abrasive cloth round the commutator and seat the carbon
brush.
• Remove the carbon dust from the grooves between the commutator bars.

• If the commutator shows signs of threading, it must be skimmed (surface
roughness = 10 µ).
• Check the soldering of the commutator bars and resolder if required.
• If there are signs of severe burn-off between two commutator bars, check the
armature winding for interturn short-circuit.
8.5.4.2 Assembly and Testing
Grease the ball bearings with Molub-Alloy 243 Arktik grease. The bearing space
must be filled only half with grease.
Check the motor before mounting the gearbox.
• The armature must be easy to turn. It must not touch fixed parts. The axial play
must be zero.
• The frictional torque measured at the slotted shaft stub of the motor must not
exceed 0.06 Nm.
Assemble the gearbox.
• Apply a thin layer of grease to the contact areas of the flange bearings, gearbox
housing, end shields, bearing covers and motor housing as well as to all surfaces
without a surface protection. If the contact areas show signs of corrosion, the rust
must be rubbed off using worn abrasive cloth.
• Observe the following when assembling the gearbox (see Figs. 14 and 15):

Frictional torque = 0.2 Nm ± 10 % (measured at the shaft stub)
• Motor with a brake

Frictional torque = 0.6 Nm to 0.8 Nm (measured at the shaft stub)
Frictional torque with the brake released = 0.2 Nm ± 10 %
Before measuring the frictional torque, check that the brake disc or brake shoe
are free from grease or oil. If not, remove the brake and clean the brake disc and
brake shoe using a degreasing agent (brake disc with a cloth, brake shoe with a
brush).
If the frictional torque is outside the tolerance, adjust the braking force by adding
or removing compensating plates C20247-A5002-C55. For this, remove the cover
plate C20247-A5002-C31 (see Fig. 18).

Check pick-up and drop-out of the brake armature.
• Motor for 220 V, 50 Hz single-phase AC and 120 V DC
Connect the magnet coil to a variable DC voltage and adjust it so that the current
intensity is 2.0 A. The armature must reliably pick up. Then, reduce the current to
0.4 A. The armature must reliably drop out.
• Motor for 200 V DC
• Motor for 380 V, 50 Hz three-phase AC
• Motor for 220 V, 50 Hz three-phase AC
intensity is 1.15 A. The armature must reliably pick up. Then, reduce the current
to 0.2 A. The armature must reliably drop out.

8.5.5.1 Dismantling and Cleaning
Dismantle the contact assembly. Wash the following components with petroleum and
dry them using a fluff-free cloth: switch pedestal, associated shafts and bolts,
pressure spring, spring guides and both contact levers (without the roller).
Observe the following:
• Before cleaning the components, remove the felt pads from the spring guides and
saturate them after reinsertion with SAE 10W/40 oil.
• Because of the felt pads inserted, the rollers of the contacts levers must not come
into contact with petroleum. Therefore, clean them using a dry cloth only. Then,
the felt pads are to be saturated with SAE 10W/40 oil (through the hole in the
roller).
Exchange damaged parts and components showing signs of excessive wear.

Examine the contacts to see if they are burnt off and exchange them if required. If
the contacts are worn out, use preadjusted, complete sets of contact springs to
replace them.
8.5.5.2 Lubrication and Assembly
Lubricate the machined surfaces of the switch pedestal and contact levers as well as
all shafts and bolts (except for the spring guides of the contact lever). The spring
guide must be so easy to move that it turns down by its own weight. Keep the
lubricating channel of the spring guide (see Fig. 19) free from grease in order that
the oil lubrication becomes fully effective.

Lubricating channel
Spring guide
Fig. 19 Lubricating channel of the spring guide
Assemble contact assembly and switch pedestal and grease the lubricating nipples
of the lever bearings with about four strokes each of the grease gun using Molub-
Alloy 243 Arktik grease.
Check the adjustment of the contact assembly. Readjust the contacts if required or
exchange the sets of contact springs.
After mounting new sets of contact springs, if required bent the spring supports to
adjust the contacts. The permissible deviation when making the contact is ≤ 0.3 mm.
The contact roller must be easy to move.

8.5.6 Assembly
CAUTION
Before replacing the components, make sure they are
free from contamination, surface damage and other
defects.
Before assembling new gear wheels, treat them with Molykote paste.
• Apply a thin layer of type G Molykote paste.
• Rub in the paste thoroughly.
• Wipe away any excess with a cloth.
Parts and surfaces not coated with lacquer or galvanised must be treated as follows:
• Grease all the parts and any surfaces before assembling them. For this, use
Molub-Alloy 243 Arktik grease. Greasing of parts is understand to be the
application of a thick layer of appropriate grease. In addition, grease all
lubricating points.
Assemble the transmission clutch. If the depth of tooth is ≤ 1.5 mm, exchange the
friction ring. Grease the following parts with Molub-Alloy 243 Arktik grease:
• sliding surfaces between gear rim and driving disc
• sliding surfaces between gear rim and lift-out disc
• gaps between friction ring and gear rim
• grease chambers of the lift-out disc
• all machined surfaces without a surface protection
The throwing force of the point machine can be set by adjusting the preloading at the
clutch spring (see Fig. 3). The throwing force should be 3,500 N ± 500 N.

For trailable point machines, the distance "a" and the preloading must be checked
after mounting the retention springs (see Fig. 26):
Distance "a" = 96 mm ± 0.25 mm
max. 0.6 a Check preloading: 1,680 N ± 50 N
Fig. 26 Mounting the retention spring
Force the Teflon-coated bearing bushings in the bearing pedestals of the

transmission clutch (not for older, grease-lubricated bearing pedestals). The forcing-
in of the bearing bushings must be carried out with special care using a parallel vice.
For this, use aluminium- or copper-sheet jaws. Take care the sensitive Teflon layer
in the bushings is not damaged. Oil the Teflon-coated bushings with a commercially
available motor oil.
CAUTION
The Teflon-coated bushings must not come into contact
with Molub-Alloy 243 Arktik grease or type G Molykote
paste.
Assemble the point machine.
• The lateral play between the bearing pedestals of the transmission clutch must be
0.1 mm and 0.5 mm. If required, use compensating washers C20106-A5009-
C131. The clutch must be easy to move to and fro.
• When mounting the gear racks, pinions and locking segment, observe the
following:
Clean the gear teeth, locking segment and locking recess of the gear racks, apply
a thin layer of type G Molykote paste and rub it in thoroughly using a soft-leather
cloth or, for the gear teeth, a hard brush. Reverse the point machine three times in
the no-load state and grease these parts.
• Fill the lubricating points at the openings for the gear racks and detector slides as
well as the lubricating nipples of the transmission gearing by means of a grease
gun.

• Before testing, fill the gearbox of the motor with about 75 cm3 of the
corresponding oil.
Check the backlash at the gear racks (Fig. 27).

• Engage the teeth flanks of the pinions with the gear racks (1). When the gear rack
is moved by the pinion, a play is produced (2). Measure the play at (2) when the
locking segment leaves the locking recess and the pinion starts to move the gear
rack. The play at (2) must be ≥ 0.15 mm.
• The backlash (3) of types -A1 (9a) and -A2 (9b) must be min. 0.15 mm and max.
0.6 mm.
• The backlash (3) of types -A3 to -A12 (9c to 9m) must be min. 0.3 mm and max.
0.9 mm.
• The backlash between motor pinion and gear rim must be min. 0.085 mm and
max. 0.75 mm.
Only if the contacts have reliably broken, must the operation of the point machine by
means of the crank handle be possible (applies to point machines with a voltage
cut-off switch only).

The cover of the housing must be easy to remove by hand and the cover lock must
lock properly. Without a key, the locked cover must not open, even if it is moved in
all directions.

8.6 Testing after Maintenance and Repair Work
After the completion of maintenance and repair work, the following tests must be
carried out:
• mechanical tests
• electrical tests
• function check-out
Before beginning testing, reverse the point machine three to four times in the no-
load state. For performing the function check-out, the gearbox of the motor must be
filled with about 75 cm3 SAE 10W/40 oil.
8.6.1 Mechanical Testing
Check that the point machine is easy to move, contains all the parts required and
that these ones have been placed correctly (see drawings).
Grease all surfaces without a surface protection (except for the contact areas).
Apply a thin layer of type G Molykote paste to the gear teeth, gear racks and sliding
surfaces of locking segment and gear rack and grease them after doing so.
Check that all lubricating points and sliding parts are lubricated.
Check that the type plates conform to the inscription plan.
Check that the contact assembly complies with the corresponding construction
specifications.
8.6.2 Electrical Testing
High-voltage and insulation tests
Test all current-carrying parts (except for rectifiers and spark quenching capacitors)
with respect to ground with 2,500 V AC, 50 Hz for 1 s. Before doing so, disconnect
all current-carrying parts and break made contacts.
In both home positions, test all current-carrying parts (except for rectifiers and spark
quenching capacitors) with respect to each other with 750 V DC (insulation test).

Current consumption
The maximum current consumption at maximum load and with a slipping clutch must
not exceed the following values:
Motor type Rated voltage Max. current consumption
DC motor 60 V ≤ 6.5 A
AC motor 110 V ≤ 12 A
AC motor 220 V ≤ 6.5 A
Three-phase AC motor 220 V ≤ 3.5 A
Three-phase AC motor 380 V ≤ 2.5 A
Direction of rotation (viewed at the pinion)
The terminal designations on the terminal board of the motor are as follows:
Three-phase AC: RST to UVW = clockwise rotation
DC and single-phase AC: connection to 2 and 0 = clockwise rotation

connection to 1 and 0 = counterclockwise rotation
8.6.3 Function Check-out
Perform the function check-out with the gear rack gaskets installed. Remove the
detector slides. For types -A9 and -A11, set the locking rod to maximum stroke. Do
not bent the locking plates.
Retention force of the clutch (for trailable point machines only)
The motor pinion and gear rim must be disengaged. Check the retention force in the
"in" and "out" positions of the operating rods.
Retention force: ≥ 4,500 N
Retention force of the brake (for trailable point machines only)
The motor pinion and gear rim of the clutch must be engaged and the lock released.
Check the retention force in the direction of trailing at each one of the two gear
racks.
Gearbox with a transmission ratio of i = 20.8: 3,500 N ± 500 N

Trailing resistance of the point machine (for trailable point machines only)
Check the trailing resistance in the "in" and "out" positions of the operating rods.
• Point machines with a brake:
• Point machines without a brake: ≤ 6,500 N
• Point machines with a back-locking and a transmission ratio of i = 13.2:
6,000 N ± 500 N
Throwing force
Check the throwing force in both throwing directions.
For trailable point machines: For each direction, connection of load to one
gear rack only, that which engages with the
pinion.
For non-trailable point machines: Connection of load to the gear rack; the locking
rod is taken along. During the reversal
operation, the force must not fall below the
following values:
C20106-A500-A1, -A2, -A3, -A5, -A6, -A8, -A10, -A11, -A12

except for S25000-Q9622-R/L809 and -R/L823: 3,000 N
C20106-A5009-A7, -A9
and S25000-Q9622-R/L809 and -R/L823: 3,500 N
Static throwing force
Check the throwing force with a slipping clutch (operating rod blocked) in both
throwing directions:
For trailable point machines: For each direction, connection of load to one
gear rack only, that which engages with the
pinion.
For non-trailable point machines: Connection of load to the gear rack; the locking
rod is taken along. During the reversal

operation, the force must not fall below the
following values:
As measuring points, the middle of the throwing stroke as well as its start and end
before the locking segment engages are used. At the start and end of the throwing
stroke, the forces may be up to 500 N over the upper limit of the throwing force. The
motor must reliably cause the clutch to slip, observing the current consumption
values given in Section 8.6.2.
C20106-A5009-A1, -A2, -A3, -A5, -A6, -A8, -A10

except for S25000-Q9622-R/L809 and -R/L823: 3,800 N ± 500 N
C20106-A5009-A11,-A12: 3,800 N ± 500 N
C20106-A5009-A7 and S25000-Q9622-R/L809 and -R/L823: 4,300 N ± 500 N
C20106-A5009-A9: 4,300 N ± 500 N
Throwing stroke
Move the gear racks so that the backlash becomes zero.
Drawing number Throwing stroke Tolerance
C20106-A5009-A1,-A2 163 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
C20106-A5009-A5,-A7 94 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
C20106-A5009-A3,-A6 132 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
C20106-A5009-A8 113 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
C20106-A5009-A9 143 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
C20106-A5009-A10 122.5 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
C20106-A5009-A11,-A12 94 mm +1.5 mm/–1 mm
Locking stroke
In the type -A1 and -A2 point machines, the locking stroke must be between
20.45 mm and 21.9 mm. It is measured as the distance of the carriers of both gear
racks in the end position of the machine. For this, move the gear racks so that the
backlash becomes zero. The distance of the carriers must be between 0.05 mm and
1.5 mm when both gear racks are in mesh with the pinions.

Voltage cut-off switch
In point machines with the crank handle-released voltage cut-off switch V25000-
Q9622-X690 or C20106-A5009-B371, the operation of the motor using the crank
handle must only be possible if the limit switch has completely actuated.
In point machines with the key-released voltage cut-off switch C20106-A5009-B80,

the insertion of the crank handle must only be possible if the voltage cut-off switch
has reliably opened.
8.6.4 Final Work after Testing
After testing the point machine, carry out the following jobs:
• Introduce the detector slides.
• Bolt the slide gaskets.
• Saturate the felt pads of the lubricating hood with SAE 10W/40 oil.
• Seal the covers of the contacts with leads.
• Move the gear racks and detector slides to one direction. Apply anticorro-sive
paint (Tectyl 506) to the parts protruding from the gaskets. This does not apply to
point machines as per variety parts lists S25000-Q9622-R/L546,
-R/L691, -R/L783. In these point machines, protruding parts without a surface
protection must only be lubricated with Molub-Alloy 243 Arktik grease.
• Bolt the caps of the gear racks and detector slides.
• Touch up the coat of lacquer inside and outside, if required.
• Add test stamps to those point machines meeting all test conditions inside the
housing near the type plate.
