Abstract

Le bogie décrit est une combinaison d'un dispositif de commande automatique (11, 11') pour la commande automatique mutuelle, à des fins de réglage radial des paires de roues (5, 5'), entre le dispositif automatique de commande (11, 11') et les moyens additionnels de retenue (6) agencés sur le cadre de bogie (2), et d'un dispositif anti-rotation (31) qui relie le dispositif de commande automatique avec la caisse de wagon (10). Le dispositif de commande automatique (11, 11') est monté dans un coussinet de pivotement (3, 3') de chaque côté du cadre de bogie (2). Ledit dispositif comporte deux leviers de commande (12, 12') interconnectés de manière rigide en torsion et en flexion, par exemple au moyen d'un tube (13). Ce bogie convient à un véhicule sur rails à haute vitesse, lequel circule sans à-coups et en exerçant un minimum de contraintes sur la voie même à des vitesses élevées, car les paires de roues sont réglées radialement uniquement en virages.The bogie described is a combination of an automatic control device (11, 11 ') for mutual automatic control, for the purpose of radial adjustment of the pairs of wheels (5, 5'), between the automatic control device (11 , 11 ') and the additional retaining means (6) arranged on the bogie frame (2), and an anti-rotation device (31) which connects the automatic control device with the wagon body (10). The automatic control device (11, 11 ') is mounted in a pivot bearing (3, 3') on each side of the bogie frame (2). Said device comprises two control levers (12, 12 ') interconnected rigidly in torsion and in bending, for example by means of a tube (13). This bogie is suitable for a vehicle on rails at high speed, which runs smoothly and with minimal stress on the track even at high speeds, because the pairs of wheels are radially adjusted only when cornering.

Description

Drehgestell für schnellfahrende Schienenfahrzeuge Bogie for high-speed rail vehicles
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Drehgestell für schnellfahrende Schienenfahrzeuge.The present invention relates to a bogie for high-speed rail vehicles.
Im Stand der Technik sind Einrichtungen bekannt, die den Sinuslauf der Radsätze eines Schienenfahrzeuges verhindern sollen. (DE-PS 934 453)Devices are known in the prior art which are intended to prevent the sinusoidal running of the wheel sets of a rail vehicle. (DE-PS 934 453)
Weiter sind Drehgestelle von Schienenfahrzeugen be¬ kannt, deren Radsätze mit ebenfalls bekannten Mitteln parallel geführt sind, um durch eine in Fahr¬ zeuglängsrichtung steife bis starre Rads tzführung, insbesondere bei schnellfahrenden Fahrzeugen, einen stabilen Geradeauslauf sicherzustellen. (DE-PS 834 256) Durch zusätzliche Anordnung von Schlingerdämp¬ fern kann die Ausdrehsteifigkeit zwischen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten erhöht werden und nachteilige Neben¬ wirkungen, welche sich auf geradem Gleis durch die aus dem Schlingern herrührenden Drehschwingungen er¬ geben, lassen sich so wirksam dämpfen. (DE-PS 2 042 458) Derart ausgerüstete Drehgestellfahrzeuge laufen zwar bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten genügend stabil, weisen aber in den Kurven einen unakzeptabel hohen Rad/Schiene-Verschleiss auf.In addition, bogies of rail vehicles are known, the wheel sets of which are also guided in parallel by known means, in order to ensure stable straight running by means of a wheel guide which is rigid to rigid in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, particularly in the case of fast-moving vehicles. (DE-PS 834 256) By additional arrangement of roll dampers, the torsional rigidity between the bogie and the car body can be increased and disadvantageous side effects, which result from the torsional vibrations resulting from the roll, can be effectively damped . (DE-PS 2 042 458) bogie vehicles equipped in this way run sufficiently stable at high speeds, but have unacceptably high wheel / rail wear in the curves.
Neuere Entwicklungen versuchen, diese konträren An¬ forderungen von stabilem Lauf bei hohen Geschwindig¬ keiten und geringem Verschleiss in den Kurven zu ver¬ einen und zwar durch die radiale Einstellung der Rad¬ sätze bei Bogenfahrt auf den Kurvenmittelpunkt hin. Hierzu bedient man sich bislang zweier im Stand der Technik bekannter Betriebsweisen, nämlich der gegen¬ seitigen Selbststeuerung (EP- 0 221 667) oder der ka- stenseitigen ZwangsSteuerung (EP- 0 072 328) der Rad¬ sätze. Als Nachteil beider Ausführungen hat sich ge¬ zeigt, dass die Radsätze speziell beim bogenein- und -auslauf einem gewissen Fehlsteuerungsbetrag unter¬ liegen, welcher ebenfalls zu Rad/Schiene-Verschieiss führt und das Kurvenlaufverhalten verschlechtert. Jüngste praktische Untersuchungen haben darüber hin¬ aus ergeben, dass bekannte RadsatzSteuerungen auf die kleinen, schnellen Ausdrehbewegungen, wie sie infolge Sinuslauf innerhalb des Spurspiels entstehen, bereits ansprechen. Dies führt ebenfalls zu stabil!ta s in- dernden und verschleissverursachenden FehlSteuerungen der Radsätze.Recent developments attempt to unite these contradictory requirements of stable running at high speeds and low wear in the bends by the radial adjustment of the wheel sets when cornering towards the center of the bend. So far, one has used two in the state of the Technology of known modes of operation, namely the mutual self-control (EP-0 221 667) or the box-side positive control (EP-0 072 328) of the wheel sets. It has been shown as a disadvantage of both versions that the wheel sets are subject to a certain amount of incorrect control, particularly when the bend is in and out of the bend, which likewise leads to wheel / rail wear and worsens the cornering behavior. Recent practical studies have also shown that known wheel set controls are already responding to the small, rapid turning movements that occur as a result of sinusoidal movement within the track play. This also leads to stable! Ta s internal and wear-causing incorrect controls of the wheel sets.
Für die Optimierung eines Drehgestells bezüglich Laufstabilität und Kurvenfahrverhalten sind somit von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung:For the optimization of a bogie with regard to running stability and cornering behavior are of crucial importance:
die Biegesteifigkeit zwischen den beiden Radsätzenthe bending stiffness between the two wheel sets
- die Schersteifigkeit zwischen den beiden Radsätzen- the shear stiffness between the two wheel sets
die Ausdrehsteifigkeit zwischen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten.the torsional rigidity between the bogie and the body.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist nun die Schaffung ei¬ nes Drehgestells für ein schnellfahrendes Schie¬ nenfahrzeug, welches auch bei hohen Fahr- geschwindigkeiten einen stabilen und gleisscho¬ nenden Fahrzeuglauf aufweist, indem die Radsätze ausschliesslich bei Kurvenfahrt radial einge¬ stellt werden.The object of the invention is now to create a bogie for a fast-moving rail vehicle, which can also operate at high speeds has a stable and track-friendly vehicle running, in that the wheel sets are adjusted radially only when cornering.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Trennung der dynamischen Bewegungen aus dem Sinuslauf von den quasi-statischen Bewegungen der Kurvenfahrt, wie dies der Wortlaut des Anspruchs 1 erkennen lässt.The problem is solved by separating the dynamic movements from the sinusoidal movement from the quasi-static movements when cornering, as can be seen from the wording of claim 1.
Die Erfindung wird anschliessend beispielsweise anhand einer Zeichnung erläutert.The invention is subsequently explained, for example, using a drawing.

Hierbei ist ein Drehgestellrahmen 2, einerseits über bekannte Führungs-, Federungs- und Dämpfungs¬ mittel auf den Radsätzen 5, 5' abgestützt, anderer¬ seits trägt und führt dieser Drehgestellrahmen 2 mit analogen Mitteln der Sekundärfederstufe einen dazu¬ gehörenden Wagenkasten 10. Der Drehgestellrahmen 2 ist mit zwei Drehlagern 3, 31 versehen- in welchen je ein Lenkerhebel 12, 12' der beidseits am Drehge¬ stellrahmen 2 angeordneten Selbststeuereinrichtungen 11, 11' gelagert ist. Die beiden Lenkerhebel 12, 12' sind durch ein torsions- und biegesteifes Rohr 13 im Bereich ihrer beiden oberen Gelenkpunkte 14, 14' un¬ tereinander verbunden. Ferner sind bei der Steuer¬ einrichtung 11 der obere Gelenkpunkt 14 des Lenker¬ hebels 12 mittels einer Lenkerstange 15 mit dem Rad¬ satz 5' in einem Anlenkpunkt 18 und ein unterer Ge¬ lenkpunkt 19 des Lenkerhebels 12 mittels einer Len¬ kerstange 16 mit dem Radsatz 5 in einem Anlenkpunkt 17 verbunden. Umgekehrt ist bei der Steuereinrich¬ tung 11' der obere Gelenkpunkt 1 ' des Lenkerhebels 12' mittels einer Lenkerstange 16' mit dem Radsatz 5 in einem Anlenkpunkt 17' und ein unterer Gelenkpunkt 19' des Lenkerhebels 12' mittels einer Lenkerstange 15' mit dem Radsatz 5' in einem Anlenkpunkt 18' ver¬ bunden. Die Steuereinrichtung 11, 11' stellt die geometrische Koppelung der beiden Radsätze 5, 5 ' un¬ tereinander, zum Zwecke der gegenseitigen Selbst¬ steuerung bei Kurvenfahrt, dar.A first example of use is shown in FIG. 1, in which a bogie 1 is provided with a self-control device 11, 11 'for self-control of the two wheel sets 5, 5'.

Fig. 2 zeigt in bezug auf die Entkoppelungsvorrich¬ tung eine vereinfachte Variante eines mit einer Steuereinrichtung für die gegenseitige Selbststeue¬ rung der Radsätze und Rückhaltemitteln ausgerüsteten Drehgestells.2 shows, with respect to the decoupling device, a simplified variant of a bogie equipped with a control device for the mutual self-control of the wheel sets and restraint means.
Hierbei ist eine unter Fig. 1 beschriebene Selbst¬ steuereinrichtung 11, 11' , mit Rückhaltemitteln 6 kombiniert, die der Dämpfung der dynamischen Drehbe¬ wegungen der Radsätze 5, 5' dienen, welche von deren Sinuslauf herrühren.Here, an automatic control device 11, 11 'described under FIG. 1 is combined with restraining means 6, which serve to dampen the dynamic rotary movements of the wheel sets 5, 5', which result from their sinusoidal motion.
Für die Dämpfung der Schlingerbewegungen des Drehge¬ stells 1 zwischen diesem und dem Wagenkasten 10 ist die Selbststeuereinrichtung 11, 11' mit einer Dreh¬ hemmungsvorrichtung 51 versehen, die *eine hydrauli¬ sche Drehhemmung mit mechanischer Entkoppelung der Dämpfungswirkung für alle Bewegungsrichtungen, aus- ser der Drehung um eine vertikale Achse, bewirkt. Hierzu ist am Wagenkasten 10 eine starre Verbin¬ dungswelle 54 in zwei Drehlagern 33 gelagert, die zwei äussere Hebel 35 aufweist. Zwischen diesen und dem torsions- und biegesteifen Rohr 13 der Selbst¬ steuereinrichtung 11, 11' sind über die jeweiligen Gelenkpunkte 37 auf einer Seite ein hydraulischer Schlingerdämpfer 39 und auf der anderen Seite eine starre Verbindungsstange 58 angeordnet.For damping the rolling movements of the bogie 1 between the bogie 1 and the car body 10, the self-control device 11, 11 'is provided with a rotation-inhibiting device 51 which * has a hydraulic rotation inhibition with mechanical decoupling of the damping effect for all directions of movement, except rotation about a vertical axis. For this purpose, a rigid connecting shaft 54 is mounted in two pivot bearings 33 on the body 10, which has two outer levers 35. Between these and the torsionally and flexurally rigid tube 13 of the self-control device 11, 11 ', a hydraulic anti-roll damper 39 is arranged on the one side via the respective articulation points 37 and a rigid connecting rod 58 on the other side.
Die so angeordneten Rückhaltemittel 6 bewirken eine kombinierte Steuerungs- und Drehhemmung und vereinen bei der gegenseitigen Selbststeuerung der Radsätze mit einem Minimalbedarf von hydraulischen Dämpfern die konträren Anforderungen einer laufstabilen Gera¬ deausfahrt und einer gleisschonenden Kurvenfahrt.The restraining means 6 arranged in this way bring about a combined control and rotation inhibition and, in the case of the mutual self-control of the wheel sets with a minimal requirement for hydraulic dampers, combine the contrary requirements of a stable driving out of a straight line and a cornering which is gentle on the track.
Als Alternative kann das in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeig¬ te torsions- und biegesteife Rohr 13 je nach den baulichen Gegebenheiten des Drehgestells 1 auch im Bereich der Drehlager 3, 3 ' oder bei den unteren Ge¬ lenkpunkten 19, 19' angeordnet, die beiden Lenkerhe¬ bel 12, 12' miteinander verbinden.As an alternative, the torsionally and flexurally rigid tube 13 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can, depending on the structural conditions of the bogie 1, also be arranged in the region of the pivot bearings 3, 3 'or at the lower articulation points 19, 19', connect the two handlebars 12, 12 'to one another.
Ein weiteres Anwendungsbeispiel ist in Fig. 3 darge¬ stellt, bei dem ein Drehgestell 1 mit je einer ZwangsSteuereinrichtung 21, 21' zur kastenseitigen ZwangsSteuerung der beiden Radsätze 5, 5' versehen ist. Hierbei ist ein Drehgestellrahmen 2, einerseits mit bekannten Führungs-, Federungs— und Dämpfungs¬ mitteln versehen, auf den Radsätzen 5, 5' abge¬ stützt, andererseits trägt und führt dieser Drehge¬ stellrahmen 2 mit analogen Mitteln der Sekundärfe- derstufe einen dazugehörigen Wagenkasten 10. Der Drehgestellrahmen 2 ist mit zwei Drehlagern 3 - 3' versehen, in welchen je ein Lenkerhebel 22, 22' der beidseits am Drehgestellrahmen 2 angeordneten ZwangsSteuereinrichtungen 21, 21' gelagert ist. Bei jeder Steuereinrichtung 21, 21' sind je ein mittle¬ rer Gelenkpunkt 30, 30' des Lenkerhebels 22, 22' mittels einer Lenkerstange 25, 25' mit dem Radsatz 5' in einem Anlenkpunkt 17, 17' und je ein unterer Gelenkpunkt 29, 29' des Lenkerhebels 22, 22' mittels einer Lenkerstange 26, 26' mit dem Radsatz 5 in ei¬ nem Anlenkpunkt 18, 18' verbunden.Another application example is shown in FIG. 3, in which a bogie 1 is provided with a positive control device 21, 21 'for the box-side positive control of the two wheel sets 5, 5'. Here, a bogie frame 2, on the one hand provided with known guiding, suspension and damping means, is supported on the wheel sets 5, 5 ', on the other hand this bogie frame 2 supports and guides with analog means of secondary a stage body associated therewith 10. The bogie frame 2 is provided with two pivot bearings 3 - 3 ', in each of which a control arm 22, 22' of the positive control devices 21, 21 'arranged on both sides of the bogie frame 2 is mounted. In each control device 21, 21 'there are a central articulation point 30, 30' of the handlebar lever 22, 22 'by means of a handlebar 25, 25' with the wheel set 5 'in an articulation point 17, 17' and a lower articulation point 29, 29 'of the handlebar lever 22, 22' by means of a handlebar 26, 26 'connected to the wheel set 5 in a pivot point 18, 18'.
Weiterhin ist je ein oberer Gelenkpunkt 24, 24' der Lenkerhebel 22, 22' mittels je einer Lenkerstange 20, 20' über die Gelenkpunkte 37 mit je einem äusse- ren Hebel 35 • einer wagenkastenseitig angebrachten Drehhemmungsvorrichtung 41 verbunden. Diese besteht aus einer in zwei Drehlagern 33 kastenseitig gela¬ gerten Verbindungswelle 4.4, deren innerer Hebel 36 über die Umlenkpunkte 37 mittels einer starren Ver¬ bindungsstange 38 wieder mit dem Drehgestellrahmen 2 verbunden ist.Furthermore, each an upper articulation point 24, 24 'of the link levers 22, 22' is connected by means of a link rod 20, 20 'via the articulation points 37 to an external lever 35 • of an anti-rotation device 41 mounted on the car body side. This consists of a connecting shaft 4.4 mounted in two pivot bearings 33 on the box side, the inner lever 36 of which is connected to the bogie frame 2 again via the deflection points 37 by means of a rigid connecting rod 38.
Somit stellt die ZwangsSteuereinrichtung 21, 21' die geometrische Koppelung der beiden Radsätze 5, 5' mit dem Wagenkasten 10 zum Zwecke einer kastenseitigen ZwangsSteuerung bei Kurvenfahrt dar.Thus, the positive control device 21, 21 'represents the geometric coupling of the two wheel sets 5, 5' to the body 10 for the purpose of a positive control on the box side when cornering.
Für die Dämpfung der dynamischen Drehbewegungen in¬ nerhalb des Spurspiels, welche aus dem Sinuslauf der Radsätze 5, 5' herrühren, ist mindestens eine der Steuereinrichtungen 21 oder 21' mit zusätzlichen Rückhaltemitteln 6 versehen. Als Rückhaltemittel 6 ist mindestens ein Dämpfer, der vorzugsweise eine trockene Reibungskennlinie aufweist, beispielsweise am oberen Gelenkpunkt 28 zwischen dem Lenkerhebel 22 bzw. 22' und einem Anlenkpunkt 7 am Drehgestellrah¬ men vorgesehen.For the damping of the dynamic rotary movements within the track play, which result from the sinusoidal movement of the wheel sets 5, 5 ', at least one of the Control devices 21 or 21 'are provided with additional retaining means 6. At least one damper, which preferably has a dry friction characteristic, is provided as the restraining means 6, for example at the upper articulation point 28 between the control arm 22 or 22 'and an articulation point 7 on the bogie frame.
Gleichzeitig werden von den in der Kombination mit der Drehhemmungsvorrichtung 41 angebrachten Rückhal¬ temitteln 6 die quasi-statischen Ausdrehbewegungen, wie sie beim Befahren von Kurven zwischen Wagenka¬ sten 10 und Drehgestell 1 auftreten, zugelassen und die Radsätze 5, 5' , werden stetig und analog dem Kurvenverlauf durch die Zwangssteuereinrichtung 21, 21* auf den Kurvenmittelpunkt hin eingestellt.At the same time, the quasi-static unscrewing movements, as they occur when driving around curves between car body 10 and bogie 1, are permitted by the retaining means 6 installed in combination with the anti-rotation device 41 and the wheel sets 5, 5 'become constant and analogous to the course of the curve set by the positive control device 21, 21 * towards the center of the curve.
Die so angeordneten Rückhaltemittel 6 bewirken eine kombinierte Steuerungs- und Drehhemmung und vereinen bei der kastenseitigen ZwangsSteuerung der Radsätze mit einem Minimalbedarf an hydraulischen Dämpfern die konträren Anforderungen einer laufstabilen Gera¬ deausfahrt und einer gleisschonenden Kurvenfahrt.The restraining means 6 arranged in this way bring about a combined control and rotation inhibition and, in the case of the box-side forced control of the wheel sets with a minimum requirement for hydraulic dampers, combine the contrary requirements of a stable, straight line exit and a gentle cornering.
Die am Wagenkasten 10 angebrachte DrehhemmungsVor¬ richtung 41 bewirkt zusätzlich die mechanische Ent- koppelung der hydraulischen Drehhemmung für alle Be¬ wegungsrichtungen, ausser der Drehung um eine verti¬ kale Achse.The anti-rotation device 41 attached to the car body 10 additionally effects the mechanical decoupling of the hydraulic anti-rotation device for all directions of movement, except for rotation about a vertical axis.
Durch die jeweils mechanische Entkoppelung der hydraulischen Drehhemmung mit den Drehhemmungsvor- richtungen 31, 41, 51 bleiben z.B. etwaige Längsbe¬ wegungen, wie sie aus Elastizitäten der Sekundärfe¬ derstufe zwischen Drehgestell 1 und Wagenkasten 10 herrühren können, ohne Einfluss auf das übrige Sy¬ stem.Due to the mechanical decoupling of the hydraulic anti-rotation device with the anti-rotation device Directions 31, 41, 51 remain, for example, any longitudinal movements, such as may result from the elasticity of the secondary stage between bogie 1 and body 10, without affecting the rest of the system.
Ein Weglassen der Verbindungsstange 38 der mechani¬ schen Entkoppelung hingen würde, unter dem Einfluss der genannten Längsbewegungen, zu einer unkontrol¬ lierten, an sich parallelen Bewegung der Radsätze 5, 5' zueinander in Gleisachse führen.Omitting the connecting rod 38 of the mechanical decoupling would, under the influence of the mentioned longitudinal movements, lead to an uncontrolled, inherently parallel movement of the wheel sets 5, 5 'to one another in the track axis.
Durch die Anordnung einer Steuereinrichtung mit Rückhaltemitteln und Entkoppelungsvorrichtung wird ein Drehhemmungseffekt um die vertikale Achse ge¬ nutzt, um eine Fehlsteuerung der Radsätze zu vermei¬ den und gleichzeitig die Laufstabilität des Drehge¬ stells auch bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten zu gewähr¬ leisten.The arrangement of a control device with restraint means and decoupling device utilizes an anti-rotation effect around the vertical axis in order to avoid incorrect control of the wheel sets and, at the same time, to ensure the running stability of the bogie even at high speeds.
Die mit Rückhaltemitteln versehene Steuereinrichtung stellt bei der gegenseitigen Selbststeuerung die geometrische Koppelung der Radsätze eines Drehge¬ stells untereinander dar. Die AusführungsVariante einer mit Rückhaltemitteln versehenen kastenseitigen ZwangsSteuerung stellt die geometrische Koppelung der Radsätze eines Drehgestells mit dem Wagenkasten dar und reagiert nur auf die Ausdrehbewegung zwi¬ schen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten infolge Kurven¬ fahrt.In the case of mutual self-control, the control device provided with restraint means represents the geometrical coupling of the wheel sets of a bogie to one another. The variant of a restraint device provided with restraint means represents the geometrical coupling of the wheel sets of a bogie to the body and only reacts to the turning movement between two bogie and car body due to cornering.
Aufgrund ihrer erfindungsgemassen Ausführung ist die mit Rückhaltemitteln versehene Steuereinrichtung für beide genannten Betriebsweisen selbsttätig in der Lage, zu unterscheiden, ob diese Ausdrehbewegung von dem Befahren einer Kurve oder dem Schlingern aus dem Sinuslauf herrührt.Because of its design according to the invention, the Control device provided with restraint means for the two named operating modes is able to automatically distinguish whether this turning out movement results from driving on a curve or the lurching from the sinusoidal motion.
So werden durch die Steuereinrichtung die grossen, langsamen Ausdrehbewegungen, wie sie beim Befahren von Kurven auftreten, in eine radiale Einstellung der Radsätze auf den Kurvenmittelpunkt hin umge¬ setzt. Im Bereich der kleinen, schnellen Ausdrehbe¬ wegungen, wie sie infolge Sinuslauf innerhalb des Spurspiels entstehen, wird die Steuereinrichtung je¬ doch von den vorgesehenen Rückhaltemitteln blockiert. _.Thus, the control device converts the large, slow unscrewing movements that occur when cornering into a radial setting of the wheel sets toward the center of the curve. In the area of the small, rapid unscrewing movements, such as arise as a result of sinusoidal movement within the track play, the control device is blocked by the retention means provided. _.
Die Rückhaltemittel sind ihrerseits in Verbindung mit einer Entkoppelungsvorrichtung angeordnet, wel¬ che die Entkoppelung der Rückhaltemittel für alle Bewegungsrichtungen, ausser bei der Drehung des Drehgestells um seine vertikale Achse, bewirkt.The restraining means are in turn arranged in connection with a decoupling device which decouples the restraining means for all directions of movement, except when the bogie is rotated about its vertical axis.
««
Die Rückhaltemittel besitzen die Charakteristik ei¬ ner trockenen Reibungskennlinie und erhöhen damit die Drehsteifigkeit zwischen Drehgestell und Wagen¬ kasten. Hierdurch werden die dynamischen Drehbewe¬ gungen innerhalb des Spurspiels, welche aus dem Si¬ nuslauf herrühren, sowohl in der Geraden als auch bei Kurvenfahrt gedämpft und zur -Vermeidung von Fehlsteuerungen der Radsätze nicht auf die Steuer¬ einrichtung übertragen, während die quasi-statischen Ausdrehbewegungen bei Kurvenfahrt von der Wirkung der Rückhaltemittel unbeeinflusst bleiben.The retention means have the characteristic of a dry friction characteristic and thus increase the torsional stiffness between the bogie and the car body. As a result, the dynamic rotary movements within the track play, which result from the Sinuslauf, are damped both in the straight line and when cornering and are not transmitted to the control device to avoid incorrect control of the wheel sets, while the quasi-static unscrewing movements the effect when cornering the restraint remains unaffected.
Derartige gleisschonende Drehgestelle erfüllen ein seit langem bestehendes unbefriedigtes Bedürfnis, indem sie die konträren Anforderungen vereinen und bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten eine gute Laufstabili at aufweisen sowie den Verschleiss bei Kurvenfahrt auf ein Minimum reduzieren. Such track-protecting bogies meet a long-standing unsatisfied need by combining the contrary requirements and having good running stability at high speeds and reducing wear and tear when cornering to a minimum.
