Abstract
A level control system for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes at least one level control cylinder and one level control piston, the level control piston being movably guided in the level control cylinder in order to adjust the level of the rail vehicle, the level control piston having an outer piston sleeve and a piston main body at least partially accommodated in the piston sleeve, and the piston main body being slidable relative to the piston sleeve for wear readjustment and being lockable and/or fixable in at least two adjustment positions.
Claims18
A level control system for a rail vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one level control cylinder;
- and
- one level control piston,
- wherein the level control piston is movably guided in the level control cylinder for adjustment of the level of the rail vehicle,
- wherein the level control piston comprises an outer piston sleeve and a piston base body accommodated at least partially in the piston sleeve, and
- wherein the piston base body is movable relative to the piston sleeve for readjustment and to be established and/or fixed in at least two adjustment positions.
The level control system further comprising an adjustment screw is accommodated or provided in and/or on the piston base body, wherein mechanical adjustment is provided by the adjustment screw located in the piston base body in at least one first position and in at least one second position, wherein by transferring the adjustment screw from the first position to the second position, the piston base body is transferred from one adjustment position of the at least two adjustment positions to another adjustment position of the at least two positions relative to the piston sleeve for readjustment.
The level control system further comprising a connection to a wagon body or a component attached to the wagon body of the rail vehicle, wherein the connection to the wagon body or to the component attached to the wagon body is implemented on the level control piston.
