RESILIENT WHEELS OF SAB DESIGN APPLIED TO MAINLINE LOCOMOTIVES OF HIGH POWER

Resilient wheels of SAB design for main line use have been applied to some 5,000 wheelsets and are standard for BR Class 86/2 175 km/h 3,700 kW electric locomotives to reduce lateral and dynamic wheel/rail forces after exhaustive testing under high-speed main-line conditions. Experience on SJ has shown increased tyre life on Class DM3 7,300 kW electric locomotives due to absence of slipping and that creep deflection after long periods of standing corrects itself very shortly after running is resumed.
