TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AXLE DRIVE MECHANISMS FOR LOCOMOTIVES

TENDENZEN DER ENTWICKLUNG DER ACHSANTRIEBE FUER LOKOMOTIVEN

The amount of power to be transmitted by wheelsets is continuously rising, so practicable solutions must be found. Two lines of improvement are open. One is to improve the reliability of conventional transmission by adopting improved technological procedures and using the most up to date construction methods; the other is to develop new types of transmission. Different proposals are made regarding this problem.
