Abstract
There are many problems in sharp curves negotiation such as large lateral force, squeal noises and excessive wear of wheel flange and rail gauge corner. To solve these problems, single axle steering bogie (proto type: FS576) has been developed by Tokyo Metro and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation. The authors confirmed good curving performance by FS576 on the result of field test. Therefore, Tokyo Metro adopted this newly single axle steering bogie (production type: SC101) for new series 1000 in Ginza line. SC101 improves lateral force, noise level, and lateral acceleration of rail in passing curves. In this paper, the design concept and outline of steering bogie SC101 for series 1000 are described. And the curving performance of SC101 is evaluated based on the result of field test and commercial service. Language: en
