THE ASSEMBLY OF WHEELSETS. PROBLEMS OF METHOD AND DESIGN

DAS FUEGEN VON EISENBAHNRADSAETZEN. FRAGEN DES VERFAHRENS UND DER GESTALTUNG

Wheelsets were previously assembled by longitudinal pressing, but increasing use is now being made of transverse pressing and adhesive shrinking. The author describes and compares the three methods, stating a preference for transverse pressing and more particularly shrinking. He shows that the higher bending stresses in and near the wheel-seat offer interesting possibilities in respect of safety and lighter construction.
