Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9003906A1] A device for compensating by means of a passive tilting system the tilted position of the superstructure of a rail vehicle driving at high speed in a curve has a tilt compensator (3) which compensates the tendency of the superstructure (1) to tilt outwards when the vehicle is driving in a curve on a raised track (10). The tilt compensator has a four-bar linkage (4) coupled to an energy accumulator which tilts the waggon superstructure (1) inwards. The superstructure (1) is supported on an additional transverse spring and fits without problems into a predetermined delimitation profile (9), without any retraction of the profile (61) of the superstructure due to the transverse tilt. The tendency of the superstructure to tilt outwards when driving in a curve is thus compensated and converted with the assistance of the energy accumulator into an inward tilt.
