Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0649782A1] The railway vehicle has at least one bogie (1) with two wheel set units (12, 12') which are connected to one another in an articulated fashion via a coupling arrangement. This bogie 1 is constructed as a frameless bearing arrangement and the vehicle body (17) is mounted on spring elements (10) and has at leats one guide device or at least one pendulum (11) between the bogie (1) and the vehicle body (17). By omitting the complex rotary bogie frame, the structure is greatly simplified and thus lightweight and compact. The radially adjustable wheel set units (12, 12') can be additionally arranged at a small distance from one another. The frameless bogie (1) is therefore in particular highly suitable for railway vehicles on rail networks which have tight bends. <IMAGE>
