A railcar diaphragm includes a car side assembly configured to be coupled to an end wall of a railcar, a wear side assembly configured to engage the wear side assembly of another railcar diaphragm or an other railcar when the other railcar is coupled to the railcar, a bellows assembly disposed between the car side assembly and the wear side assembly to provide a pathway and at least one elastomer suspension unit assembly including an elastomer suspension unit, a bearing assembly and an arm having a first end coupled to the elastomer suspension unit and a second end coupled to the bearing assembly. The elastomer suspension unit assembly is coupled to the car side or wear side assembly via the bearing assembly. The arm is biased towards an initial position by the elastomer suspension unit as a distance between the car side assembly and the wear side assembly changes.
