The TF25 is an innovative hydraulically damped bogie for axle loads up to 25.5
tonnes and can operate at a maximum speed of 120 KPH.
Entering operations in 1999, two complementing suspension components
make the TF25 distinctive - a soft primary suspension comprising of hydraulically
damped coil springs and a stiff secondary suspension using rubber bonded
side-bearers.
The TF25 has the following advantages:
- Low track forces producing low bogie wear and reduced maintenance
- Track friendly - low track wear
- Freight friendly - low vertical acceleration
- Low noise
- High speed of 120 KPH
- Relatively light at 4.4 tonnes with an integrated brake
- High axle loads of up to 25.5 tonnes - anticipating future axle-loads allowances
The TF25 is especially suited for new wagon designs and enjoys unrestricted
approval in the UK.
