An overview is represented of the methods and hardware which applied for angular backlashes measurements in the different branches of industry. The advantages and shortcomings have shown for different principles of direct wear measurement in the tooth couplings, spindles and gearboxes of the rolling mills drive trains. The description is represented of the digital devices which are designed in the ISI for angular backlashes measurement and which can work in the embedded monitoring system with the wear diagnostics function.

The maintenance of railway systems is critical for their safe operation. However some landscape geographical features force the track line to have sharp curves with small radii. Sharp curves are known to be the main source of wheel flange wear. The reduction of wheel flange thickness to an extreme level increases the probability of train accidents. To avoid the unsafe operation of a rail vehicle, it is important to stay continuously up to date on the status of the wheel flange thickness dimensions by using precise and accurate measurement tools. The wheel wear measurement tools that are based on laser and vision technology are quite expensive to implement in railway lines of developing countries. Alternatively significant measurement errors can result from using imprecise measurement tools such as the hand tools, which are currently utilized by the railway companies such as Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit Service (AALRTS). Thus, the objective of this research is to propose and test a...
