DUAL GAUGE-CHANGING DEVICE ON SINGLE PLATFORM

摘要

Dual gauge-changing device on single platform. It permits the change of gauge for two different technologies as are TALGO and CAF, in a single platform provided in a pit (6), forming part of which are a set of sliding guides (9), displacement check rails (12) and bolt activation guides (5), usable with both types of train when being located in the corresponding positions. The displacement check rails (12) are fixed to a bracket column (13) emerging from the bottom of the pit (6). The sliding guides (9) and the bolt activation guides (5) are provided on some moving bedframes (10) displaceable in the transverse direction and in turn fixed on two support pieces (7) arranged on hydraulic cylinders (8) anchored to the bottom of the pit (6). The sliding guides (9) are mounted with the mediation of other hydraulic cylinders (11 ) which rest on the moving bedframes (10).
