Abstract: An assembly transmits longitudinal forces in a rail vehicle. The assembly contains a first and second hydraulic axle link bearing, a wheel set, and a rotary frame. Each axle link bearing has a housing element and a first and second chamber filled with a fluid. In the event of a change in the position of the housing elements relative to each other, fluid is exchanged between connected chambers of the axle link bearings. The fluid exchange is produced by a change in the position of the housing elements relative to each other, and the change in position causes the transmission of longitudinal forces which are transmitted between the wheel set and the rotary frame via the axle link bearings. A first chamber of the first axle link bearing is connected to a first chamber of the second axle link bearing via a damping element in order to exchange fluid.

Abstract: A moisture-curing, one-component polyurethane composition, containing at least one isocyanate group-containing polyether urethane polymer obtained by reacting at least one polyisocyanate with at least one polyether polyol; at least one isocyanurate-containing trimer of 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethyl cyclohexane or 1,6-hexane diisocyanate in a quantity of between 1 and 4 percent by weight in the composition; at least one polyether with blocked hydroxyl groups, which is free of isocyanate groups, as a plasticiser, in a quantity of more than 5 percent by weight in the composition. Where moisture is excluded, the moisture-curing polyurethane composition has good storage stability, good processability and good thermal stability, and surprisingly good adhesive effect on highly scratch-resistant, hydrophobic automotive paints, and no pretreatment with adhesion promoters, primers or activators is needed. It is especially suitable for use as an elastic adhesive in the production of means of transport.

Abstract: An assembly for increasing the load-bearing capacity of a structural component of a rail vehicle, in particular the tensile strength and the compressive strength. The structural component has a first connection point and a second connection point. A tensile force acting on the first connection point or a compressive force acting on the first connection point is transmitted to the second connection point. A first load path which is designed to transmit the compressive force is formed between the first connection point and the second connection point, and a second load path which is designed to transmit the tensile force is formed between the first connection point and the second connection point. The first load path and the second load path have different compressive strengths, thus achieving a division of the force transmission by the different compressive strengths.

Abstract: A workpiece carrier has a base frame, a shaft surrounding a drive axis and a workpiece carrier and includes a rotary frame mounted on the base frame so as to be rotatable about the drive axis, workpiece holders mounted on the rotary frame so as to be rotatable about holding axes, a driving part with a holder mounted so as to be rotatable about the drive axis, a transmission part operationally connected to the rotatably mounted workpiece holders, and an intermediate gear attached to the rotatably mounted holder. The intermediate gear is connected to the shaft and to the transmission part in such a way that the transmission part engages with the driving part so as to be rotatable about an output point that is spaced apart from the drive axis by an eccentricity.

Abstract: A workpiece carrier (2) comprises a rotary frame (3) and a driving part (22), both of which are rotatable about a driving axle (4). The rotary frame (3) can be driven by a motor (6), and carries a plurality of workpiece holders (13) which are distributed around the driving axle (4) so as to be rotatable about holder axes. Mounted in the driving part (22) on a mount is a pinion (25) which engages with a stationary central wheel (21) and a ring gear (27) of a transmission part (26), at the centre of which lies an output point (29) which is at a distance of an eccentricity from the driving axle (4). Driving apertures (28) on the transmission part (26), through which driving pins (19) of the workpiece holders (13) project, are also at the distance of the eccentricity from the holder axes.

Abstract: An arrangement for holding and cooling bearing shell blanks (2) positioned one next to the other during a coating process in a vacuum chamber, has cooling body and work piece holding pairs (3) which are detachable from each other and which are connected to one another via a cooling surface (9) and a heat transmission surface (7). A work piece holding part (5) of the cooling body and the work piece holding pair (3) is implemented so that the bearing shell blanks (2) are placed in a concave bearing surface (32) of the holding part during the coating process and are kept, over their entire surface, at a temperature determined by the cooling surface temperature. A temperature gradient can be formed if teflon foil strips are placed on the bearing surface. These allow only a direct heat contact of the apex of the bearing shell blanks (2) with the bearing surface.
