SF 1000<br />

<strong>Motor</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Trailer</strong> <strong>Bogies</strong> <strong>for</strong> Light Rail <strong>Metro</strong> <strong>Vehicles</strong><br />

The SF 1000 motor <strong>and</strong> trailer bogies are<br />

designed <strong>for</strong> use on light weight metro<br />

vehicles with a maximum speed of<br />

80 km/h. The maximum axle load is 13 t.<br />

The modular bogie family SF 1000 is<br />

designed <strong>for</strong> high per<strong>for</strong>mance with low<br />

life cycle cost.<br />

This bogie family is of modular design<br />

causing to a reduction in the number of<br />

different components required <strong>and</strong> thus<br />

resulting in rationalisation of<br />

manufacture.<br />

The wheelbase of 2100 mm enables the<br />

bogies to be track friendly <strong>and</strong><br />

particularly suitable <strong>for</strong> negotiating<br />

small radii of curvature. The primary<br />

suspension system is equipped with<br />

pairs of steel coil springs. Rubber<br />

guidance elements inside of the springs<br />

provide axle guidance free from play.<br />

The secondary suspension system<br />

features air springs <strong>and</strong> offers optimum<br />

ride quality as well as the possibility of<br />

level adjustment.<br />

The secondary longitudinal guidance is<br />

achieved by low connected guides<br />

(traction rod). This arrangement ensures<br />

low wheel load reduction.<br />

One disc brake per wheelset is provided<br />

as mechanical brake. The installation of<br />

magnetic rail brakes is alsoprovided<br />

(option).<br />
