A railway car brake system comprising a control device (100, 200) engageable with a predetermined portion (3) of such railway car for compensating braking force in response to a load carried by such railway car. The control device includes a sensor mechanism (110, 210) engageable with a truck bolster (16) or a movable car structure (3) for sensing a vertical position thereof corresponding to a load carried by the railway car. There is a control valve (120, 220) engageable with the sensor mechanism (110, 210) which generates a fluid pressure signal responsive to such load. A pneumatic actuator (140, 180) engageable with a predetermined brake beam (22, 24) disposed on such truck assembly (10) and fluidly connected to such control valve (120, 220). This pneumatic actuator (140, 180) generates a predetermined braking force responsive to the fluid pressure signal and further responsive to the load carried by the railway car as sensed by the sensor mechanism. Such predetermined braking force may be proportionally adjusted to variations in the load carried by the railway car.

L'invention concerne un système de frein de wagon comprenant un dispositif de commande (100, 200) venant en prise avec une partie prédéterminée (3) de ce wagon pour compenser la force de freinage en réponse à une charge transportée par ledit wagon. Le dispositif de commande comporte un mécanisme capteur (110, 210) venant en prise avec une traverse danseuse (16) ou une structure de wagon mobile (3) pour détecter une position verticale de celle-ci correspondant à une charge transportée par ledit wagon. L'invention concerne également une soupape de commande (120, 220) venant en prise avec le mécanisme capteur (110, 210) qui produit un signal de pression fluidique en réponse à ladite charge. Un actionneur pneumatique (140, 180) venant en prise avec une poutre-frein (22, 24) prédéterminée est posé sur cet ensemble bogie (10) et relié fluidiquement à ladite soupape de commande (120, 220). Ledit actionneur pneumatique (140, 180) produit une force de freinage en réponse au signal de pression fluidique ainsi qu'à la charge transportée par le wagon telle que détectée par le mécanisme capteur. Une telle force de freinage peut être réglée de manière proportionnelle aux variations au niveau de la charge transportée par ledit wagon.
