HEMSCHEIDT Rail’s lower articulations (HELA) for Jacobs bogies have been specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of rail transport.
The articulation absorbs high lateral and longitudinal forces as well as continuous oscillation loads, while reliably compensating for pitch and roll movements. This ensures that carbodies are safely and flexibly connected via a shared bogie, protecting the vehicle structure from overload and contributing to outstanding ride smoothness and long service life.
FlexiSphere – Rubber-steel bearing technology for maximum resilience FlexiSphere
Thanks to “FlexiSphere” – our innovative rubber-steel bearing technology – the articulation combines the advantages of two worlds: the elasticity and damping capacity of rubber with the stability and durability of steel. This combination reduces the dynamic stresses that occur when cornering, braking, or running on uneven tracks – and provides a particularly smooth load transmission.
