Invention includes bogie frame and single link type traction device coupling frame and carbody and transmitting force to carbody, force acting on bogie frame. Single link type traction device includes single link member, receiving seat, and first fastening member. Link member couples center pin of carbody and bogie frame and extends in car longitudinal direction. Receiving seat is provided at fixation target object constituted by center pin or bogie frame, and link member is fixed to receiving seat. First fastening member includes bolt and nut and fixes an end portion of link member to receiving seat. Bolt is inserted into end portion of link member and receiving seat from one side in car longitudinal direction, and nut is threadedly engaged with bolt from other side in car longitudinal direction. Receiving seat includes through hole into which bolt is inserted and nut accommodating space communicating with through hole and accommodating nut.

Railcar bogie and railcar including same

A restricting member is configured to restrict abnormal rising of a carbody when an air spring expands by a predetermined amount or more. The restricting member includes: a base portion; a contact portion provided at the base portion and configured to be brought into contact with a lower surface of a bogie frame when the air spring expands by the predetermined amount or more; and a temporary fastening portion formed at the base portion. The temporary fastening portion is configured to be attachable to and detachable from a temporary fastened portion formed at a side surface of a center pin extending downward from a carbody.

Restricting member and railcar including restricting member

Each of an assembly for air spring, an air spring, and a carriage for vehicle includes: a first supporting member; a second supporting member arranged to be spaced away from the first supporting member in a main load direction; and an adjusting member connected to the first supporting member and the second supporting member in a plane crossing the main load direction, the adjusting member having anisotropy in elastic property in the plane crossing the main load direction.

Air spring and carriage for vehicle

A first bearing casing accommodates a first spherical bearing while restricting a displacement of the first spherical bearing in an axial direction, and a second bearing casing accommodates a second spherical bearing while allowing a displacement of the second spherical bearing in the axial direction. The second bearing casing includes a protruding portion interposed between each of second oil sealing members and the second spherical bearing so as to be spaced apart from the second spherical bearing in the axial direction.

Anti-rolling device of railcar

A railcar includes: a carbody; a bogie constituting member including an interface plate provided at a lower portion of the carbody, an air spring, and a bogie; an automatic level controlling valve configured to maintain a height of the spring within a certain range; a first attaching portion provided on a side surface of the plate, the valve being detachably attached to the side surface of the plate by the first attaching portion; and attaching means provided at the lower portion of the carbody, the valve being detachably attached to the lower portion of the carbody by the attaching means, the bogie constituting member being separable from the carbody in a state where the valve is attached to the side surface of the plate through the first attaching portion or a state where the valve is attached to the lower portion of the carbody through the attaching means.
