Abstract (en)

An improved bogie equipped with a body-tilt system for a railway car is provided, wherein running velocity may further be increased in curves by preventing decrease in load applied to an inner wheel of the bogie during body tilt operation and riding comfort should not extremely be deteriorated even when the body-tilt system failed. The bogie of the present invention comprises a support pedestal 5 standing upwardly from a bogie frame 7 to a position adjacent to a roof of the car body 1, a tilting member 3 which is disposed on an upper position of the pedestal 5 and pendulates around a center of tilting O0 in a lower portion of the car body 1, an actuator 13 for tilting the car body 1, a bolster spring 2 provided between the tilting member 3 and the car body 1. When the body tilts toward a center of the curve, the center of gravity of the body moves toward the center of the curve from the center of a track, thereby preventing the load applied to an inner rail wheel from reducing. <IMAGE>
