scope:

This European Standard applies to hydraulic dampers and their end mountings used on rail vehicles. The dampers covered in this standard include: - dampers that control the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle: - suspensions dampers, (e.g. primary vertical dampers, secondary vertical dampers and secondary lateral dampers); - yaw dampers; - roll dampers; - inter-vehicles dampers. - dampers that control the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems: - pantograph dampers; - motor dampers, etc. All relevant terminology which is specific to the subject is defined in this European Standard.
