Defect

On transit bus glide-slide doors, the door shaft rotation axis may be eccentric. Repeated opening and closing of the door in this condition causes insufficient lubrication inside the door arm ball joint, leading to ball joint seizure. In the worst case, the door may become unable to open or close.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, measure the eccentricity of the door shaft rotation axis. On vehicles where the eccentricity exceeds the specified limit, replace the ball joint with the corrected part.

状況

路線バスのグライドスライド扉において、扉シャフトの回転軸が偏心しているものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で扉の開閉を繰り返すと、扉アームのボールジョイント内部の潤滑が不十分となり、ボールジョイントが焼付き、最悪の場合、扉の開閉ができなくなるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、扉シャフトの回転軸の偏心量を測定し、偏心量が基準を超えているものは、ボールジョイントを対策品に交換する。
