Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An assembly for positioning a wheel of a rail vehicle. The wheel is supported on a wheel shaft and there is provided a swing arm and a frame of a bogie of the rail vehicle. The swing arm has a first end that is connected to the frame of the bogie in a rotationally mounted manner. The swing arm has a second end that is connected to the wheel shaft. The swing arm has a fixed, but detachable, connection between the first end and the second end which allows for the swing arm to be mechanically divided into two.
