Underframe structure and deformation element on rail vehicles

摘要

With the using up of the stroke of the coupling (10), the failure of a wear element (11), and the receding of the coupling into the coupling sleeve, load is directed through two deformation elements (1) side-mounted on the underframe (4). The deformation elements are attached to the underframe by a mounting plate (18). The enclosed casing (14) is built onto the underframe and has only one opening (15) for the coupling.
