Travel mechanism for a rail vehicle, which travel mechanism has adjustable wheel pairs, and a rail vehicle equipped with such a travel mechanism

摘要

A coupling device (6) enables the two outer wheel sets (2,3) to be linked to each other, counterwise, and to be adjustable coupled radially to track bends to be negotiated. The coupling device contains an additional device (15) for transmission of adjustment forces, via which a same direction linkage movement can be transmitted to the wheel sets. The coupling device has a coupling shaft lying crossway, and rotatably located on the running mechanism frame (1) and two pairs of longitudinal steerers (11,12) linked to the shaft and articulately connected to the two outer wheel sets. The coupling shaft is adjustable coupled with the additional adjustment device.
