Abstract
A guidance system with a truck guided on a rail (1) has available laterally arranged guiding surfaces (2.1, 2.2) for guide rollers of the truck. A rack (4) is preferably constructed on the rail (1) such that a dividing line (6) of a gearing (5) of the rack (4) constantly runs through a median perpendicular (7) of the cross-section of the rail (1). Each truck has, for example, two wheel frames. The wheel frames are preferably so constructed that the swivel axis (22) runs through a power application point (14) of the dividing line (6). The guiding elements form a three-point guidance system.
Claims9
Guidance system with a truck guided on a rail whose drive gear engages into a gearing of the rail in a power application point and whose guide elements are guided in corresponding points of support on laterally arranged guide surfaces, wherein a dividing line of the gearing has a predefined constant distance from at least one of the lateral guide surfaces, and the drive gear and guide elements are so arranged that a straight line through the power application point and a point of support is always perpendicular to the direction of travel at the moment, wherein the truck has at least one wheel frame (11) whose swivel axis (14) runs through the power application point of the dividing line (6).
