ABSTRACT:
A railway car bogie has a bearing (11,12) at the center of each of the front and rear axles (2) and a pair of struts (13, 14) arranged in a V connected at one end to each bearing to define an imaginary center of rotation at or adjacent the center of the bearing and at the other end to the bogie frame (5). By mounting the axle boxes (4) for lateral and longitudinal sliding movement relative to the axle springs (9, 10) around the imaginary center of rotation, a railway car (25) mounted on the bogie exhibits greater stability for high speed straight running and easier passage around tight curves.
