  • Publication number: 20090133601
    Abstract: Disclosed is a railway vehicle comprising at least one pneumatic spring for supporting a body. At least one mechanically actuated valve is disposed in at least one air supply/discharge tube of the at least one pneumatic spring in order to control air exchange of the at least one pneumatic spring. At least one switching means is provided between the at least one mechanical valve and the at least one pneumatic spring in the at least one air supply/discharge tube in order to control air exchange. Alternatively, at least one switching means is arranged between the at least one mechanical valve and at least one pressure source while at least one additional switching means is placed in a tube that connects the at least one mechanical valve to an environment in order to control air exchange.
