<p>In an underfloor wheel lathe 1 for reprofiling the wheels 28, 29 of railway wheel sets, with two machine units 3, 4 which are each allocated to a wheel 28, 29 of the wheel set 30 and of which each has a machine column 6, 7, a swivel head 8, 9, an axlebox supporting device 10, 11, two friction rollers 36, 37, 38, 39 which can be pressed against a wheel of the wheel set 30, and a friction-roller carrier 40, 41, at least one of the two friction rollers of each friction-roller carrier 40, 41 being drivable, and each friction-roller carrier 40, 41 being pivotable about a pivot axis 42, 43 movable in the centre plane 44 of the underfloor wheel lathe 1, an increase in the cutting capacity without brake devices acting on the friction-wheel carriers 40, 41 is made possible by two pressure devices 58, 59, 60, 61 being linked to each friction-wheel carrier 40, 41, which pressure devices 58, 59, 60, 61 produce torques 62, 63 acting in opposite direction with regard to the associated pivot axis 42, 43.</p> |
