摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a drive arrangement for a wheel unit of a running gear, in particular for a rail vehicle, comprising a wheel unit (103) defining an axial direction and a radial direction, a first torque transmission device (111) and a second torque transmission device (112). The first torque transmission device (111) is connected in a torsionally rigid manner to the wheel unit (103) and the second torque transmission device (112) is connected in a torsionally rigid manner to the first torque transmission device (111) using a connecting device (114) such that an arrangement substantially coaxial to the axial direction is formed. The wheel unit (103) has a wheel unit end section (103.1) protruding, along the wheel axis, into a receptacle (112.1) of the second torque transmission device (112). A protective unit (115; 215; 315) is arranged between the wheel unit end section (103.1) and the second torque transmission device (112), the protective unit (115; 215; 315) being configured to protect the wheel unit end section (103.1) against damage by the second torque transmission device (112) in case of failure of the connecting device (114).</p> |
