Wearing piece for side
bearer
Weight of Coach body is transferred to the bogie by
side bearers. The side bearer arrangement consist
of machined steel wearing plate immersed in an oil
bath and a floating bronze wearing piece with a
spherical top surface kept in it, on both sides of the
bogie bolster. The coach body rest on the top
spherical surface of these bronze wearing pieces
through the corresponding attachments on the
bottom of the body bolster. The whole arrangement
is provided with a cover to prevent entry of dust in
the oil sump.

Objective- To control vertical damping 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. These guides are fitted with guide
caps having nine holes of diameter 5 mm
equidistant through which oil in the lower
spring seat passes under
Axle Guide
Pressure during dynamic oscillation of coach and
provide necessary damping to primary suspension
to enhance better riding quality of coach. This type
of rigid axle box guide arrangement eliminates any
longitudinal or transverse relative movement
between the axles and the bogie frame.
The quantity of oil required to achieve 40 mm oil
level above the guide cap in modified arrangement
is approximately 1.6 liters and in unmodified
arrangement is approximately 1.4 liters. As it is not
possible in open line to distinguish between
modified and unmodified arrangements, 40 mm oil
level is standardized for both.
