IMPROVEMENT OF MATERIALS FOR THE TIRE-CLEANING DEVICE

In order improve the adhesion and decrease the frequency of "flat" damages due to the wheel-slip, a resin-bonded grindstone type tire-cleaner was developed for the SHIN KANSEN vehicles. Vehicles braked by the electric and disc brake are apt to be soiled on the wheel-tread and so the braked wheels have greater possibility to slip and produce a "flat" due to the decrease of adhesion value. Test has shown the tendency to reduce the frequency of the wheel-slip under use of the grindstone type cleaner. Experiments with the adhesion tester showed that the scouring with the grindstone type cleaner increased and stabilized the adhesion value.
