Abstract
A railcar damping device includes: a tank storing a liquid; a first opening/closing valve provided in a first passage connecting a rod side chamber to a piston side chamber, which are defined by a piston, to be capable of opening and closing the first passage; a second opening/closing valve provided in a second passage connecting the piston side chamber to the tank to be capable of opening and closing the second passage; and a pump that is driven to rotate at a predetermined normal rotation speed in order to supply the liquid from the tank to the rod side chamber, wherein a rotation speed of the pump is reduced when a thrust command value is smaller than a normal lower limit value, which is a lower limit value of a thrust that can be generated by the actuator when the pump is rotated at the normal rotation speed.
