UNIVERSAL BOGIE DESIGNS FOR HUNGARIAN BUILT LOCOMOTIVES

Multi-gauge twin-axle truck designs are described for locomotive power from 600 to 2,000 hp and axleloads up to 20 tons. An important aspect was to design with three principal objects: to keep down the unsprung weight; increase the wheelbase, and provide suitable spring characteristics and adequate damping. Riding properties of locomotives equipped with this basic type of bogie have been found to be very good. Effectiveness of the non-linear primary suspension has fulfilled expectations and even without damping at this stage, no tendency to resonance conditions has been encountered.
