Axle springs (also known as Chevron springs) are multipurpose vibration reducing elements. They are both simple to install and easy to maintain. Thanks to their durability, they offer a long service life meaning they are ideal for use in all types of rail vehicle application. By selecting the angle of the steel sections and the number of intermediate steel interleaves, in conjunction with the relative installation angle of the chevron spring pair, three different spring stiffness' can be achieved. Furthermore, the degree of stiffnesses can also be varied by altering the geometric dimensions of the individual layers, and also by changing the rubber hardness.
