Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8912566A1] The invention relates to the railway rolling-stock industry. The axle boxes (20) with shrunk-on wheels are connected to a rigid bogie frame (2, 4) via a primary horizontal link comprising a connecting rod (18) secured to the longitudinal member (2) of the frame by a flexible ball joint (14). At least one of the four axle boxes (20) can slide longitudinally in relation to the longitudinal member (2). The sliding movements are controlled by a rod system (22, 24, 26, 30), the input component (22) of which is integral with the vehicle frame, or via a damper and a flexible return member located mutually in parallel. Bogies with wheels shrunk on the axles, as per the invention, are better able to negotiate curves.
