Application

Metalastik® Bearer Springs provide a bearing medium between rail vehicle bodies and bogies and are operating worldwide in various suspension applications including locomotives, passenger and freight vehicles

Features

Conventional circular and rectangular bearer springs are designed to support the vehicle body in their compression mode whilst allowing horizontal, lateral and rotational bogie movements by virtue of the more flexible shear mode.

Waisted Type Bearer Springs offer optimised performance within limited space envelopes, particularly where large horizontal displacements require to be accommodated.

Further ranges of springs, i.e. Hourglass and Half-Hourglass Bearer Springs with unique performance characteristics are also detailed in this publication.
