A damper apparatus (12) as the force generation mechanism mounted between a vehicle body (2) and a bogie (5) includes an attenuation damper (13), an electric damper (14), and a gear apparatus (15). The attenuation damper includes a rod protruding from a cylinder, and generates a damping force by converting motion energy of a forward or backward movement of the rod into heat energy. The electric damper includes a stator, and a movable element linearly movable relative to the stator. The gear apparatus is disposed between the attenuation damper and the electric damper, and can mechanically switch the attenuation damper and the electric damper between a series connection and a parallel connection. The gear apparatus switches a connection state between the attenuation damper and the electric damper according to the condition. |
