High speed railway vehicle bogie mounting - has linked swivelling levers with lugs hinging axle bushing via flat guide plates

摘要

The wheel-set axle boxes are led on flat guide plates sited at different levels. The bogie mounting system is for railway rolling-stock travelling at high speeds. The carriage body is supported on the bogie frame, which has springs in its wheel-set support. - The axles boxes (5) are hinged by the guide plate (6) to the open end of a transverse lug (8) of a swivelling lever (5), fixed to the bogie frame (3). The levers' movement takes place against a return force, and their open ends, hinged to the guide plate ends, are connected by an intermediate piece (7) which passes through. This provides smooth running at both high and medium speeds.
