Abstract
The aim of the invention is to provide a running gear with a mount for a brake linkage on a bogie, wherein the mount has a long service life and requires little maintenance. The transmission of shocks and vibrations between the brake linkage and the bogie is reduced, and the bogie and the brake linkage are electrically insulated from each other. A running gear for a rail vehicle including a bogie and a brake linkage is proposed, having at least one bearing element. The brake linkage is mounted on the bogie and/or is connected to the bogie by means of the at least one bearing element, and the at least one bearing element has a plastic and/or consists of a plastic.
Claims18
A running gear comprising:
- a bogie;
- a brake linkage
- one or more of mounted on the bogie or connected to the bogie by at least one bearing element, the brake linkage including a brake bridge mounted on the bogie by the at least one bearing element in the brake bridge, wherein the at least one bearing element is arranged in a bore of the brake bridge;
- and
- a mounting disk disposed at an end side of the at least one bearing element between the brake bridge and an adapter arranged as a connector between the brake linkage and the bogie, the mounting disk preventing the at least one bearing element from moving out of the bore in the brake bridge,
- wherein the at least one bearing element includes plastic.
A running gear for a vehicle, the running gear comprising:
- a bogie;
- a brake linkage having a brake bridge having a bore;
- a self-lubricating plastic bearing element disposed in the bore of the brake bridge and coupling the brake linkage to the bogie;
- and
- a mounting disk disposed at an end of the bearing element between the brake bridge and an adapter also connecting the brake linkage to the bogie, the mounting disk preventing flow of the bearing element out of the bore.
