A railcar adapter for connecting a railcar body to a bearing, comprising:
- an adapter body having a frame seat side configured to abut the railcar body and having two lateral channels extending perpendicularly from the frame seat side, each of the two lateral channels being axially delimited by a pair of opposed lugs and a lateral surface extending therebetween, each of the two lateral channels being adapted to cooperate with the railcar body, and
- each of the two lateral channels comprising a first centering bump located on the lateral surface, the first centering bump being spaced from the frame seat side and extending into the lateral channel, the first centering bump being configured to allow swivelling of the railcar adapter relative to the railcar body,
- wherein each of the two lateral channels has a plurality of the first centering bump located on the lateral surface and extending across an entire length, as measured parallel to the frame seat side, of the lateral surface.
