A side bearer of a railcar truck is designed to limit reciprocal displacement of a truck and railcar under a frame. The side bearer includes a carrying body with a guiding opening wherein a bearing cup is mounted by applying a springing element. A thrust collar is implemented on a guiding wall in a groove. Upon off-loading the cup e.g., during dismantling of a truck from under a railcar, a thrust collar bears against a limiting face ensuring unreleasable connection of the side bearer. Indicator grooving is implemented on a working face and on a lateral wall of a carrying body, enabling visual control of a side bearer technical condition.
