FOUR-AXLE STEERING TRUCK FOR IRON WHEEL SUPPORTED LINEAR MOTOR VEHICLE

PURPOSE:To enable the smooth passing in a curved track by connecting two two-axle trucks located close to each other in front and rear with a connecting rod having pins in both ends thereof, and connecting a distance between both the trucks with two steering rods to be located in X-shape. CONSTITUTION:In a truck for railway vehicle with travels on a rail way, in which central part a secondary side reaction plate 1 of a linear motor 2 is laid, two two-axle trucks 3 having iron wheels 2 are located close to each other in front and rear and pin holes 4 of truck center pivots 3 of both the trucks 3 are connected with a connecting rod 5 having pins in both ends thereof to form this truck for railway vehicle. Right and left ends of the tips of truck frames of the sides facing to each other in front and rear are conected by pivotally supporting each ends of two steering rods 6, which have the same length and to be located so as to cross each other, with pins 7. In a curve, two two-axle trucks 3 can be thereby steered for V-shape in response to a curvature to improve the traveling stability in a curved track.
