  • Lathe machine for turning wheel sets, especially sets of railroad wheels
    Patent number: 4399724
    Abstract: A milling machine for turning sets of wheels, especially railroad wheels, comprises at least one roller contacting the wheel circumference and at least one roller contacting the axially inwardly facing wheel surface for driving and/or supporting the wheels of a set. The circumferential roller and the inner roller for the same wheel are operatively supported by a common support such as a common housing whereby axial forces are taken up reliably so that axial excursions of the wheel set are prevented.
