ON THE TYRE PROFILE OF FREIGHTCAR WHEELS

Adoption of the N-profile tyre wheels for double-link suspension freight cars has been decided upon. Fundamental considerations in determination of wheel tyre and flange profile are as follows: (1) high stability to hunting, (2) little wear due to running, (3) great safety against derailment. The N-profile tyre proposed to meet this demand has been confirmed to be effective both theoretically and experimentally; it is going to be adopted in all two-axle freight cars of double-link suspension. It is expected to make drastic cutdown of derailment cases of two-axle freight cars.
