Elastomeric Pad

The bouncing or vibrations during railway and truck travel disrupts  passenger comfort, may damage cargo and may also reduce the  operational life of the vehicles themselves

The adequate support or cushioning which is required is achieved by

Elastomeric pads which are generally used as primary suspension  systems in railway wagons and particularly for certain kind of bogies. The  elastomeric pads transmit forces between the axle box and the side frame  of the bogie. The role of the elastomeric pad is to withstand the  compressive, longitudinal and shear forces on the bogie and provide anti  vibration or cushioning and damping effect to the whole wagon.
