New Developments for tilting trains A view of the prototype 3 kv EM train ER401 V610 DM for DB Railways Goal of endolino project: to improve service speed on regional lines, with quite poor track quality, mantaining full safety and a comfort level compatible with then-offered one Activity started in taly around 1966, up to mid '70, he first tilting unit (Y0160) was build and tested in early '70, he first EM in service, the ER401 was delivered in 1975. he series production of ER450, entered in service in 1988. he V610 was delivered on early '90s SLDE 1 - he approach, the prototype, first application in taly and Germany

Bogie architecture basically unchanged in respect of Etr450/V610: New features: : tilting system totally underfloor body bolster simplified connection redesigned axlebox guide simplified bogie frame concept mproved raction concept and car body design: DC/AC traction power systems, designed for bi-current and three-current solutions. wider modular carbody, in large extrusions profiles pressure tightness, in two different options (pressure-sealed, pressurised) SLDE 2 - he Electro-Hydraulic endolino

System starts to tilt following through the gyroscope the transition's geometry. After a short time, the accelerometer signal is added. On the cars following, the reference signal is basically the acceleration SLDE 3 - he ilting command concept.

New developments for tilting trains. Roller mechanism and Electro-mechanical Electro-mechanical Active Lateral Suspension electro-mechanic actuator bogie assembly tilting actuator in electro-mechanical tilting bogie ilting mechanism: Roller link between the tilting bolster and the bogie frame. Electromechanical ilting Actuator: planetary roller spindle + brushless motor driven by Electric ower nit.. Secondary suspension = single air-spring + two roll-bars. Longitudinal traction link drives anti-yaw dampers. No Active Lateral Suspension is required by swept envelope. Active Lateral Suspension where very high levels of comfort are required antograph is controlled vs. catenary by an active electromechanical servo-system ( brushless motor + sliding frame) SLDE 5 - he Electro-Mechanic ilting Bogie
New developments for tilting trains 8 Act ilting centre w' Centre of gravity w Kinematics of tilting and self-centring effect ilting systems is intrinsically self-centring in case of fault. During the tilting phase, centre of gravity is kept approximately at the same position. During the tilt rotation the reaction centre position guarantees the stability No reaction is transmitted to bogie; therefore, effects to wheel/rail are negligible. SLDE 6- Self-centring effect.
