Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0263283A2] The bogie for a rail vehicle comprises a minimum of two wheelsets and at least one passive steering device (30). Each of these connects two wheelsets (3, 3') together so that they can swivel. It has a third control lever (32) with a coupling point (31) for forming a swivel connection with a coach body. The pivot points (38, 39) for swivelling the wheelsets (3, 3') are located on one side of the longitudinal centre plane (4) of the bogie (2, 2') and the coupling point (31) for the coach body on the other side of the longitudinal centre plane (4) or actually in this. This bogie is of particular advantage on vehicles negotiating small radii of curvature such as trams and municipal railways since the flexible rubber elements used on the swivel and pivot points of the steering device have optimum conditions with regard to their angle of torsion. <IMAGE>
