Abstract: Running gear for a rail vehicle includes a first drive unit, a running gear frame and a wheelset, wherein the first drive unit is supported via a first spring device and a second spring device on a first wheelset bearing housing or on a first swing arm and via a third spring device and a fourth spring device on a second wheelset bearing housing or on a second swing arm, where a first damper device, arranged between the first wheelset bearing housing or the first swing arm and the drive unit, is advantageously connected in parallel with the first spring device, the second spring device, the third spring device and the fourth spring device, where the damping device has a damper and, connected in series therewith, a first stop buffer and a second stop buffer to achieve a space-saving drive bearing having effective suspension and damping.

Abstract: A trim assembly having at least a first trim part fora vehicle, wherein the trim assembly is connected to an undercarriage of the vehicle via a bearing device, and wherein in order to create advantageous design conditions, the bearing device includes at least a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, which are each connected to at least one component coupled to a first wheelset or a first wheelset bearing system of the undercarriage, the at least first trim part is mounted in an articulated manner with respect to a first bearing transverse axis of the undercarriage via the at least first bearing, and the at least first trim part is mounted with mechanical decoupling with respect to directions of motion parallel to an undercarriage longitudinal plane via the second bearing and the third hearing such that mechanical loads acting on the trim assembly are thereby reduced.

Abstract: A trim assembly includes at least one trim part for a vehicle, wherein the at least one trim part has at least one bearing device where, in order to provide advantageous construction conditions, the trim assembly includes at least one first emergency catch device having a first support, the at least one first emergency catch device includes at least one first catch bolt having a contact surface facing the at least one trim part and includes at least one first spacer, and the at least one first catch bolt and the at least one first spacer are connected to the first support so as to ensure the trim assembly is highly resistant to loss.

Abstract: A method and device for monitoring coupling elements of a vehicle, according to which at least one representative direction of relative movement is determined for a coupling element to be monitored, relative movements in the representative direction of movement of the coupling element to be monitored are measured and stored, and the stored relative movements are then evaluated such that the coupling elements can thus be monitored and their suitability for use in a vehicle can be determined.
