Wheel structure with flanged wheels for rail vehicle operation - has wheel plates inclined through predetermined fixed or variable adjustable small dash angle in relation to vertical

摘要

The axles (16) of the wheel set are located in displaceable pendulum bearings (12) in a frame. The rails on which the wheels run are inclined customarily. The axles (16) of the wheel set are joined to one another by a homokinetic link (13) and a coupling (14). The dash angle of the wheel plates (10') is in the area of -5 deg. with a max. of -10 deg. The coupling (14) is of the rigid or torsion-elastic type. Instead of the coupling, a torsion damper or a controllable regulatable unit can be provided. USE/ADVANTAGE - To improve considerably the running stability of rail vehicles.
