AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing solutions for 2-axle bogies in trailed railway vehicles face issues with stability at higher speeds due to suspension impairing vehicle stability and causing additional stress on axle bearings, while maintaining radial wheel adjustment for curves.

Method used

A 2-axle bogie with radially adjustable wheels uses length-adjustable longitudinal drawbars and a central pivot member to transfer longitudinal displacement between axle boxes, limiting free oscillation and reducing stress on axle bearings.

Benefits of technology

Enhances stability at higher speeds by reducing axle vibration susceptibility and maintaining radial adjustment for curves, without increasing stress on axle bearings.

Abstract

The arrangement of a 2-axle bogie for a trailed railway vehicle with radially adjustable wheels with longitudinal coupling has length-adjustable longitudinal drawbars (1) connected at one end to a central pivot member (2) located under the bracket (3) of the central pivot member (2), the length-adjustable longitudinal drawbars (1) are fixed at the other end to the mountings on the axle box lids (4) with rubber-metal ball pins (5), whereby the axles of the bogie are connected by means of longitudinal drawbars (1) independently on both sides of the bogie.
