More Information
Summary:A railroad car side bearing including a cage, a cap, a lock out insert configured to be removably connected to the cage, and an elastomer element configured to mate with the lock out insert. The lock out insert includes a key that is dimensioned based on a diameter of an interior channel of the elastomer element. Different lock out inserts with different dimensioned keys for different elastomer elements enable a common cage and a common cap to be used with different elastomer elements with different interior channel dimensions, thus reducing the need to have different cages. L'invention concerne un palier latéral de wagon de chemin de fer comprenant une cage, un chapeau, un insert de verrouillage configuré pour être raccordé de manière amovible à la cage, et un élément élastomère configuré pour correspondre à l'insert de verrouillage. L'insert de verrouillage comprend une clé qui est dimensionnée sur la base du diamètre d'un chemin de l'élément élastomère. Différents inserts de verrouillage présentant des clés de différentes dimensions pour différents éléments de verrouillage permettent d'utiliser une cage commune et un chapeau commun avec différents éléments élastomère présentant des dimensions différentes du canal intérieur, ce qui réduit la nécessité d'utiliser différentes cages.
