Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0794099A1] Between the air spring system (2) and the running mechanism (3) a roller device (6) is arranged with a rolling direction orientated crossways to the vehicle. The effective radius of the roller device is virtually the same as or greater than the height of the air spring system and its rolling area is definedly limited. The roller device is formed by a roller plate (8) on the lower support surface of the air spring system, with a central, rounded roller edge (7) and a flat counter bearing surface (9) on the running mechanism. The roller edge on both sides is limited by tangential flat surfaces (10), the opening angle of which defines and limits the rolling area of the device.
