AdapterPlus
Steering Pad System
The patented elastomer pedestal pad / liner /
bearing adapter design improves axle-to-rail wheelset alignment.
Unlike conventional adapters, which are all iron, the elastomer
pad allows controlled linear motion of the wheelset at a lower
force going into a curve. Wheels can steer earlier, so curving
improves and rolling resistance is reduced wear to the sideframe
pedestal roof, thrust lug, bearing adapter crown and the bearing
adapter thrust lug.
