RAILCAR BOGIE FRAME

A bogie frame includes a cross beam extending in a car width direction and including a car width direction middle portion at which a center pin arrangement space is formed. The cross beam includes a pair of pipe members extending in the car width direction and lined up so as to be located away from each other in a car longitudinal direction, and air spring seats provided at upper surfaces of car width direction end portions of the pair of pipe members. At least one of the pair of pipe members includes a curved portion at a car width direction middle portion thereof, the curved portion projecting outward in the car longitudinal direction such that a clearance between the pair of pipe members increases. The center pin arrangement space is formed between the pair of pipe members by the curved portion.

BOGIE STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTAIN RAILWAY CAR

The present invention relates to a bogie structure for a mountain railway car. The bogie structure is configured as follows: a traction motor for driving an axle of mountain railway car is installed on a car body to simplify the bogie structure and to minimized interference between the traction motor and other components constituting the bogie, and a first and a second bearing are respectively inserted and installed between a first and a second axle and a first and a second wheel, so that a first and a second wheel located in one side close to a turning center are rotated less than a first and a second wheel located in the other side opposite thereof and a traveling distance of the wheels located in the turning-centered side is generated corresponding to a length of a turning-centered side railway, whereby the mountain railway car is improved in traveling stability.
