Abstract
A bogie includes two pairs of wheels (), the wheels () of one pair being connected to one another by a shaft to form an axle (), the axles () being connected to one another by two half-chasses () each having two side members () connected to one another by a cross-member (). The side members () rest on one of said axles (), the cross-members () of the half-chassis () being articulated by an articulation device () so as to permit rotation of one half-chassis () relative to the other about a substantially longitudinal axis (A). Each side member () of a half-chassis () is connected to a side member () of the other half-chassis () by a connector () mounted in an articulated manner about substantially transverse axes on the side members (), the connector () extending at least partially in a horizontal plane offset in terms of height relative to the horizontal plane passing through the articulation device ().
