The side bearers are mounted laterally onto the bogie of a goods wagon and support the body.

With the turning movement of the bogie, the swivel ring inserts and the two lateral sliding plates work together - in this way, over a defined coefficient of friction and a specified turning moment, safe travelling operation can be guaranteed.

Application is outdoors and therefore subjected to the seasons with their temperature fluctuations and precipitations.

With the material PAS-80X, this task could be excellently solved - this is proven by a decade of use as well as the approval of the "springloaded side bearer" by the DB AG.Further parts are bearing plates for draw hooks and brake linkage bushes made from faigle plastics. The side bearers are prefabricated with the extrusion and injection moulding processes and subsequently machined. Afterwards, heat treatment and several days are necessary in order to achieve the characteristics of this material.

The bushes are integrated into the drill holes for tracks, linkages and points systems. A long lifetime without greasing and in some cases, even the electrical insulation are expected. Both have been exceptionally well fulfilled for decades by means of the material PAS-LGX. Large forces are effective and in addition, the component made from PAS-LGX is exposed, practically unprotected, to the weather. However, with these bush inserts, a much longer serviceable life is achieved than with customary metal bushes.The material PAS LGX braves all loads which occur with use in points. The material specially developed for this purpose combines a very high mechanical stability with good dry running characteristics and electrical insulating property. Exceptions are high temperatures on points with gas heating - even here there are bushes made from faigle plastics for high temperature applications which have proven themselves for years.

Fabrication takes place chiefly with the injection moulding process with subsequent mechanical finishing.
Now for the first time hanging straps are an attractive interior design element for standing passengers in urban and underground railraods, trams, busses, commuter trains and mountain railways.

Whether you want to call passenger attention to safety by adding a coulour accent or you want to enhance interior design, the news IGOSTRAP - series by faigle offers almost unlimited possibilities. Special CI solutions are also possible.
The "top Adstrap" hanging straps from faigle offer passengers in underground trains, local buses and airport buses, trams, cable cars and other public means of transport the following benefits:
Comfort and safety
The antimicrobial plastic prevents the spread of germs.
With an advertising area above the hanging strap mounting, the hanging straps also offer an attractive advertising space above head height which can be seen from a long way off.
