Abstract

L'invention concerne une poutre flexible (24) en acier destinée à un système d'aiguillage pour trains à sustentation magnétique. La poutre flexible selon l'invention contient au moins un élément support (25) en forme de caisson, qui s'étend en sens longitudinal (x) et sur lequel sont fixées des tôles d'appui (27) placées les unes derrière les autres dans le sens longitudinal, s'étendant des deux côtés de l'élément support et servant au montage d'éléments d'équipement (10, 12). Selon l'invention, les tôles d'appui (27) sont réalisées sous forme d'éléments d'un seul tenant, qui s'étendent sur la largeur de la poutre flexible et qui sont reliées entre elles dans le sens longitudinal en une chaîne qui n'influe pratiquement pas sur la rigidité flexionnelle de l'élément support (25) dans le sens souhaité (y) pour une opération d'aiguillage, mais qui présente une rigidité élevée quant à des torsions autour de l'axe longitudinal (x) et à des vibrations en sens vertical (z).
