Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A chassis for rail vehicles includes at least one first wheel and one second wheel, at least one first wheel bearing having a first wheel bearing housing and a second wheel bearing having a second wheel bearing housing, at least one first primary spring and one second primary spring, at least one primary spring-loaded support structure and at least one active wheel positioning device, which has an actuator unit, where a first bearing and a second bearing are provided between the at least one wheel positioning device and the at least one support structure, and a guide is provided between the at least one wheel positioning device and the first wheel bearing housing, and where the unsuspended mass of the chassis is reduced by the suspension of the wheel positioning device on the primary spring-loaded support structure in order to create advantageous design conditions.

Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A chassis for rail vehicles, the chassis comprising: at least one first wheel and one second wheel; at least one first wheel bearing with a first wheel bearing housing and one second wheel bearing with a second wheel bearing housing; at least one first primary spring and one second primary spring; at least one primary spring-mounted support structure; and at least one active wheel actuating facility, which has an actuator unit; a first bearing and a second bearing are arranged between the at least one wheel actuating facility and the at least one support structure, and a guide is provided between the at least one wheel actuating facility and the first wheel bearing housing; wherein the at least one wheel actuating facility comprises a lever; wherein the first bearing is arranged between the lever and at least one primary spring-mounted support structure and a third bearing is arranged between the lever and the actuator unit; and wherein the lever is guided through a sliding joint arranged on the first wheel bearing housing or guided through a sliding joint arranged on a first rocker arm connected to the at least one support structure. 2. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding joint comprises a resilient bushing. 3. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first bearing is arranged on a first adapter connected to the at least one support structure. 4. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second bearing is arranged on a second adapter connected to the at least one support structure. 5. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator unit includes at least one pneumatic actuator. 6. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator unit includes at least one hydraulic actuator. 7. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one support structure comprises a chassis frame. 8. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first bearing and the second bearing are resilient. 9. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first bearing and the second bearing comprise rotary joints. 10. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third bearing comprises a rotary joint. 11. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least first wheel and the second wheel are interconnected such that a first wheelset is formed. 12. The chassis as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least first wheel and the second wheel are configured to form an idler pair.
