Brake carrier for the bogies of rail vehicles

摘要

The invention relates to a brake carrier for the bogies of rail vehicles, said carrier having an open cross-section with flexible torsion. The connection to the two longitudinal members of the bogie is designed as a rigid non-articulated connection and the braking device (6) is fixed to the brake carrier (3, 4) in such a way that the line of action of the braking forces runs through the shear centre (P) that lies outside the cross-section of the brake carrier (3, 4).
