Barber Iron Split Wedges

• Interchangeable to all Barber Truck designs as a replacement to the traditional single piece wedge
• Split wedges increase truck warp resistance (squaring) versus traditional single piece wedges, providing improved high speed stability and curving performance without compromising vertical damping

Barber S2-86® Radial Adapter

The Barber S2-86® Radial Adapter primary suspension system provides passive semi-radial steering performance. A single layer of rubber bonded between two steel plates and situated above the bearing adapter allows for radial alignment of the wheelsets during curving, which reduces rolling resistance, improving rail and wheel life.

• M-976 track tested and approved on a variety of trucks
• Tested and approved under M-924 roller bearing adapter specification
• Fits standard AAR pedestal - no special side frames required
• Utilizes standard M-924 features, like the bearing adapter roof recess
• Durable vulcanized rubber to steel bond
• Rubber Maintains properties over wider temperature range than other polymers
• Resilient rubber surface provides better load distribution across pedestal roof discontinuities
• Grounding wire provides more reliable electrical continuity than studs
• Rejection lugs prevent...

Bolster Pocket Wear Plates and Inserts

As the originator of variably damped snubbing, Standard Car Truck’s Barber™ products have been tested, adapted and refined through decades of lab work and field experience to ensure component durability and proper damping operation to protect cars and lading.

• Standard Car Truck offers a variety of M-976 approved snubbing options
• On many designs wedges can be removed from pockets without special tools and without disassembly of the truck, allowing for easy replacement of wedges and column wearplates 
• Side wall wear plates and split wedge inserts are easily replaceable, avoiding the need for costly and time-consuming rewelding of pocket surfaces during reconditioning 
• Most older trucks may be upgraded to the Barber Split Wedge System simply by adding an insert to the pocket
