THIS POST CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Abstract:
A UK registered inspector found cracks on a Vekoma Boomerang coaster car axle, on a Vekoma MK 1205 train. One is cracking through the cap mounting holes and the other cracking from the weld across the beam. The cracking through the holes extends to both sides of the hole and down to the bearing seat.
We publish here also the Vekoma Bulletins regarding similar cracks found.
We remind that inspection of car axles in roller coasters is VITAL for the safe operation. Car axles are among the most dangerous parts in the amusement field since by occurring a failure they generate tragic damages. Many parks adopted the procedure to completely disassemble these parts at least once a year and perform a thorough NDT check, changing completely the parts if cracks are found.
