THE ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC TILT SYSTEM FOR PASSENGER COACHES OF THE SWISS FEDERAL RAILWAYS (SBB)

SBB has tried out a tilt system for passenger coaches in order to obtain a higher travelling speed round curves. The system was developed by SIG Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft (hydraulic part) and Honeywell (electronics) in cooperation with SBB. The equipment is described, and a brief report is given on the trail runs.
