PASSENGER CAR PASSED ITS WAY SMOOTHLY

Full Text:

Abstract

This article continues the theme of passenger car building (see Mir Transporta [World of Transport and Transportation] Journal, 2006, Iss.2 and Iss.3 [4]). It provides a retrospective analysis (1865–2000) of ways of improvement of bogies, describes major historical and technical stages and types of modernization, outlines the story of creation of devices to ensure the movement smoothness of bogies. The representatives of scientific schools are named, who were involved in the development of units of nonautomatic coupler without side buffers, as well as of two-axle bogies with single and triple suspension. A special role is given to the participation of employees of MIIT in the justification of rational installation angle of inclined hydraulic dampers in the central spring suspension, replacing the wedge friction dampers in the pedestal level with rubber gaskets.
