Preliminary Design of Passive Tilting System for Amcoach: Volume 2. Preliminary Design for Amcoach Tilt Modification

A preliminary design of the tilting truck for AMCOACH is presented to achieve speed-up in curves without increasing lateral acceleration of carbody, to maintain good ride quality and shorten operation time. The passive tilting system is adopted on the basis of successful experiences of Japanese...

Preliminary Design of Passive Tilting System for Amcoach: Volume 1. Description of Tilting Truck Currently Used by JNR

A description of the tilting truck currently used by Japanese National Railways (JNR) is presented. JNR 381-series electric railcars with passive tilting device were manufactured to aim at speed-up in curves, and have been operated in Chuo-sai line between Nagoya and Nagano, and Kisei-line between...
