The bogie of a bell-type industrial furnace is subject to significant thermal and mechanical loads, while also requiring gas tightness between the bogie and the furnace. To ensure safe and proper operation, a sequential thermo-mechanical analysis using finite element method was conducted. The numerical model for thermal analysis was established based on the experiment, and the results of this analysis were subsequently utilized as input data for the mechanical analysis. The most pronounced deformations and stresses occur due to thermal loading, and an evaluation of sealing during operation was also performed. The conclusion presents potential enhancements for the bogie design.
