The invention relates to a variable-width bogie with rotating axles and a stationary apparatus for changing track width. The bogie includes: a platform supporting a railway car; at least one rotating axle (2), the outer areas of which include parts (10) that support the suspension springs (11) of the platform and contain bearings (12) on which two wheels (1) are mounted using a coupling device enabling sideways movement and including locking guides (18) connected thereto, which locking guides are used to control the sideways movement in order to occupy the positions corresponding to the two track widths; and a track width changing device housed in the above-mentioned supporting parts (10), based on the cooperating action of the locking guides (18) and a latch (22) which can move vertically when actuated by interlocking/unlocking guides (24) provided on a stationary apparatus used to change the track width. |
