Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2368781A1] The invention relates to a running gear for a rail vehicle, in particular a high speed rail vehicle, comprising a wheel set (105), a running gear frame (104) and a shielding device (109), the running gear frame (104) being supported on the wheel set (105). The shielding device (109) is connected to the running gear frame (104) via a support structure (108) and is spatially associated to at least a shielded component (107) of the running gear (103). The shielding device (109) shields a shielded part (107.1) of the shielded component (107) against impacts of objects (B), in particular pieces of ballast, lifted from a track (T) used during operation of the vehicle. The shielding device (109) and/or the support structure (108) comprises an impact energy absorbing device (109.2, 109.3, 110), the impact energy absorbing device (109.2, 109.3, 110) being adapted to absorb a noticeable fraction of an impact energy of one of the objects (B) hitting the shielding device (109).
