Image Number 3 for United States Patent #5650576.
The device that is used to measure the switching force in railway points incorporates a measuring bolt (5) that can be inserted into a joint in the point drive. At the unattached end of the measuring bolt there is a head (7) in which an electro-mechanical sensor (8) is arranged. The precise adjustment of the measuring bolt (5) within the joint is effected by using a spacer (10), which simplifies the removal of the measuring bolt once the measurements have been made.
