Conventionally, there is an angle of attack between the rail and the wheel axle during the running of the curved portion of the railway car, as shown in FIG. 1. This attack angle adversely affects the smooth curve running of the vehicle, The friction between the rail and the rail side causes high noise and accelerates the wear of the wheel and the rail. In severe cases, the wheel and the rail are damaged, and a train accidentally derails.
