Product advantages
Compared to conventional "three-piece" bogies, the Scheffel bogie has the following advantages:
1. Improved Operational Quality: The new structure provides smoother bogie operation, enhancing overall ride comfort.
2. Higher Operational Speeds: The improved design allows trains to operate at higher speeds while maintaining stability.
3. Enhanced System Stability: The autonomous steering mechanism increases the overall stability of the system, reducing vibrations and deviations during travel.
4. Reduced Wear between Wheel Flanges and Rails: More precise steering reduces friction between wheel flanges and rails, extending their service life.
5. Lower Construction Costs for New Rail Lines: Improved bogie negotiation capabilities reduce the requirements for track precision, thereby lowering construction costs.
6. Increased Transport Efficiency: Higher speeds and better stability directly enhance transport efficiency.
7. Lower Maintenance Costs for Wheels and Rails: Reduced wear decreases maintenance needs, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
8. Reduced Energy Consumption and Noise: Optimized design reduces energy loss and operational noise, minimizing environmental impact.
9. Reduced Derailment Incidents: Enhanced stability and steering capabilities significantly lower the risk of derailment.
