A floating caliper brake device for a railroad vehicle includes: a support pin that is supported by a cylindrical portion of a support frame in such a manner as to be slidable in a direction X; a caliper; a first and second brake shoe; a pressurizing device that moves the first brake shoe back and forth; an elastic member that is expandable and contractible in the direction X; a stopper member that is immovable relatively to the cylindrical portion in the direction X; and a moving member that is frictionally engaged with the support pin so as to be slidable in the direction X.

Floating caliper brake device for railroad vehicle

A caliper body is slidably attached to a truck in the axial direction of a wheel. The body has a tip end portion branched off into two parts. One part is close to an outside of one side of the wheel with another part close to an outside of the other side of the wheel. An operating lever is arranged that rotates, via a protruding-retreating motion of a pneumatic actuator rod, one end side via a connecting link around an eccentric axis, which is rotatably supported by one of branched-off parts of the caliper body, as a center. One brake shoe is slidably installed to an anchor pin of the caliper body to freely rotate on a tip side inner surface of a caliper lever installed in an eccentric part. Another brake shoe is installed on a tip side inner surface of the other branched-off part of the caliper body.
