  • Patent number: 10745035
    Abstract: A connecting member for connecting two longitudinal members of a bogie frame of a rail vehicle includes at least one fastening point for receiving add-on components, at least a first member element with a first member portion and a second member element with a second member portion, wherein the first and second member elements are connected to one another in a force-fitting manner by at least two connecting devices such that the member portions overlap one another at least in certain portions in order to damp vibrations that occur and to thus prevent oscillation of the system.

  • Patent number: 9994240
    Abstract: A chassis for rail vehicles, particularly with inside-supported wheelsets, wherein the drive unit is elastically supported transversely to the travel direction via spring devices within the chassis frame, where the vibrational behavior is optimized and the space available for the drive unit is enlarged because the spring devices are supported directly on the housing of the bearing of the wheelset.

  • Publication number: 20170297590
    Abstract: A rail vehicle for transporting people, which is in the form of an articulated train-type multiple unit, includes at least two car bodies. Adjoining car bodies are supported on a common central running gear and end car bodies are additionally supported on end running gears. All of the running gears have a distance between the centers of the bogies of two adjoining running gears of from 18 to 21 m, and the end car bodies have a length of from 24 to 27 m.

  • Patent number: 9776646
    Abstract: A wheelset bearing for the wheelset of a rail vehicle having an internally mounted truck that includes one bearing housing per side of the wheelset that encloses the wheelset bearing for the wheelset, where the wheelset bearing and bearing housing are within the wheels in an installed state and a torsion spring serves as a roll stabilizer that is connected to the bearing housing such that the torsion springs are rigidly connected to one bearing housing each on the two ends thereof (without interconnection of draw-pressure rods) so as to implement roll stabilization for the wheelsets in a manner that is as technically simple as possible.

  • Publication number: 20120111675
    Abstract: A brake carrier for bogies of rail vehicles has an open cross-section with flexible torsion. A connection to two longitudinal members of the bogie is designed as a rigid non-articulated connection and a braking device is fixed to the brake carrier in such a way that a line of action of braking forces runs through the shear centre that lies outside the cross-section of the brake carrier.
