Two-axled central support bogie for railway and tramway vehicles with two or more articulated bodies

摘要

A two-axled central support bogie for railway and tramway vehicles with two or more articulated bodies includes two cross members carrying the wheels, and a central longitudinal structure the ends of which bear on two air springs carried by respective central platforms formed by the cross members. The central structure carries means for its articulated connection with the articulation ends of the vehicle bodies, and the bogie also includes tie means for connecting the central structure with one of the cross members to prevent movements in a longitudinal direction and lateral resistance means for limiting movement in a transverse direction.
