HIGH SPEED WAGON BOGIES FOR JAPANESE NATIONAL RAILWAYS

Two types of bogie with air and steel springing were developed for 70 mile/h fast freight services in Japan. The axleload has been set at 13.2 tons, and 860 mm diameter solid-rolled wheels have been used. Taperroller bearings are used to take both vertical and lateral loads. The restraint between the axlebox and the bogie frame is 2,000 kg/mm longitudinal and 500 kg/mm laterally. Either steel coil or air springing will be used in the bolsters. The air springs are of 550 mm diameter and are of the three-ply bellows type.
