Guiding Bushes

Guiding bushes ensure a stable guidance of the wheel set at high dynamic load impact.

Play a key role in guiding the wheelset. As system components they can also be used to transmit loads in the traction link and anti roll system as well as in the driveline suspensions.

Guiding Bushes

Benefits

  • Allow the wheelset to follow the track course with less wear
  • Transferring forces between wheelset and bogie
