Construction of coaching stock

Shell i.e. the skeleton part.Furnishing i.e. the provisions of

amenities.Bogie (Trolley) with the running gear.

Page 3: ICF Bogie

Safety Concern of Coaches

Safety, speed as well as comfort mainly depend on the bogie on which the coach is placed.

Page 4: ICF Bogie

Bogie – What ?

It is an independent unit used under a long vehicle, usually mounted on two pairs of wheels (except some special purpose stocks).

Each bogie is provided with a bolster for engagement with its male counterpart provided underneath the vehicle under frame.

The bogie trucks can swivel and adjust it’s position with case and without restraining the vehicle body while negotiating a curved track.

Page 5: ICF Bogie

Bogie – Why ?

Limitation of maximum rigid wheel base of a vehicle.

Limitation of maximum axle load prescribed for track.

Full utilisation of track loading density.

Page 6: ICF Bogie

Factors for Designing A Bogie

Sturdy construction to withstand vertical, longitudinal and lateral shocks.

Suitable suspension gear.Satisfactory damping devices.Sturdy running gears to give trouble

free service.Easy negotiability on curved track

without restraining body structure

Basic parameters of ICF Bogie

Main Units of ICF Bogie

Bogie bolster with side bearers & centre pivotBogie frameWheel and axleBody–bogie bolster jointBogie bolster–bogie frame joint Bogie frame–axle joint Secondary suspension (between bogie bolster

& bogie frame) Primary suspension (between bogie frame &

axle) Bearing arrangement in axle boxBrake system

Page 21: ICF Bogie

Bolster, side bearers & centre pivot

The weight is taken at the side bearer on the top of the bolster.

No weight comes at the centre pivot.

The pivot acts only as a point of rotation and guidance of the bogie.

Page 22: ICF Bogie

Side Bearers

Page 23: ICF Bogie

Side BearersConsists of a machined

steel wearing plate immersed in an oil bath

Floating bronze-wearing piece with a spherical top surface kept in it

The coach body rests on the top spherical surface of these bronze-wearing pieces through the corresponding attachments on the bottom of the body-bolster.

Centre Pivot

Page 25: ICF Bogie

Bogie Frame

Page 26: ICF Bogie

Bogie FrameAll welded light weight

construction.The two main sole plates

of ‘I’ section are connected at other ends by headstocks and at the centre by the transoms.

Total 4 nos. Longitudinal beams (2 at either side) are connected between headstock and transom.

Wheel and Axle

Page 28: ICF Bogie

Body–Bogie JointThe centre pivot pin

joins the body with the bogie and transmits the tractive and braking forces on the bogies.

It does not transmit any vertical load.

It is equipped with rubber silent block bushes which tend to centralise the bogies with respect to the body and, to some extent, control and damp the angular oscillations of the bogies.

Page 29: ICF Bogie

Anchor links

One anchor link is provided on each side of the bolster diagonally across which connects the bolster with bogie frame (Total nos. 2).

Can swivel universally to permit the bolster to rise and fall and sway side wards.

Fitted with silent block bushes.

It holds the floating bogie bolster in position longitudinally.

Designed to take the tractive and braking forces.

• Axle Guide Arrangement

Description

Axle box guides are of cylindrical type welded to the bottom flanges of the bogie side frame with close dimensional accuracy.

These guides together with lower spring seats located over the axle box wings, house the axle box springs and also serve as shock absorbers.

Bogie Frame–Axle Joint

Page 31: ICF Bogie

Axle Guide Arrangement

Function

A rigid axle guide arrangement, which alone guides the axle longitudinally as well as transversely by eliminating any relative movement between axles & bogie frame.

Designed to transmit tractive & braking force between bogie frame & axle.

It acts as a single acting hydraulic shock absorber for primary suspension.

Limitations of ICF bogie Design

Longitudinal and transverse flexibilities of the axle guidance cannot be optimised. independently as generally required for high-speed bogies.

There are vertical space constraints to accommodate desirably softer secondary suspension springs.

Headstocks increase the yaw inertia of the bogie.
