Abstract: The present invention relates to a bearing block for articulating a coupling rod to a car body of a track-guided vehicle, particularly a railway vehicle. A modular design is provided so as to be able to easily and yet effectively adapt the bearing block to different applications. To this end, the bearing block comprises a first crosspiece having a bearing shell situated in a first horizontal plane as well as a second crosspiece having a bearing shell situated in a second horizontal plane. The two bearing shells each have a respective mount for a vertically extending (common) pivot bolt or for a pivot pin allocated to the respective bearing shell. The modular design of the bearing block is particularly realized by the first and second crosspiece being implemented as separate structural components independently connectable to the car body of the track-guided vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bearing block (1) for articulating a coupling rod to a car body of a track-guided vehicle, particularly a railway vehicle. A modular design is provided so as to be able to easily and yet effectively adapt the bearing block (1) to different applications. To this end, the bearing block (1) comprises a first crosspiece (7.1) having a bearing shell (3.1) situated in a first horizontal plane as well as a second crosspiece (7.2) having a bearing shell (3.2) situated in a second horizontal plane. The two bearing shells (3.1, 3.2) each have a respective mount (4.1, 4.2) for a vertically extending (common) pivot bolt or for a pivot pin (54.1, 54.2) allocated to the respective bearing shell (3.1, 3.2). The modular design of the bearing block (1) is particularly realized by the first and second crosspiece (7.1, 7.2) being implemented as separate structural components independently connectable to the car body of the track-guided vehicle.
