Translation of "Gleisbogen" in English

The tracks from Essen-Steele Ost over the Ruhr bridge are now only very rarely used by freight traffic.

The wheels then transfer the lubricant to the curved track.

That method, however, is applicable only in a track curve.

The narrow and steep curves (with grades of about 1.0%) between the station and the cemetery tunnel had over time become an obstacle for the heavier trains now running.

Wagons are able to run on twisted tracks when (Y/Q) does not exceed the limit given in section 4.2.3.4.2.1 in a curve of radius R = 150m and for a given twisted track:

For such bogies, it is desirable that the wheelsets, depending on the longitudinal stiffness of the primary wheelset linkage or suspension, can adjust themselves in a curved track.

The position of the entire bridge on a sharply curving track made this bridge construction difficult and also posed a challenge for the designers.

In this way, any friction in track curves between the track switch and transport car 2 can be practically eliminated.

In addition, there was a rail triangle east of the station that connected the Ruhr Valley Railway with a curve directly to the line to Bochum allowing trains to avoid the station.

Instead of traditional clothoid curves, the transition from the straight to the curve in the track is designed as an interaction between the centre of gravity of the vehicle and the curve element.

Urban Park as the Urban Backbone The curved track as an urban park will be the new urban backbone for the expanding inner city.

As a result, in a track curve, the rail pulling device can be positioned parallel to the transversely inclined position of the track, and the subsequent centering of the rail ends to be welded together can thus be significantly improved.

This coupling is effected on the two sides of the chassis symmetrically relative to the longitudinal direction, thereby improving the radial setting of the wheelsets 3 and 4 on track curves and ensuring the necessary high longitudinal stiffness c when starting up with high tractive force or when braking, as applicable.

In order to compensate deflections in the curved track, the tamping assemblies F are moved on transverse guides 16 .

The super-elevation in a track curve, or a transfer conveyor belt which is maximally pivoted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the wagon for unloading, can cause an instability of the front-most loading wagon and, in the extreme case, even a tipping over, along with all the possible negative consequences for the entire loading train.

When the rail vehicle is traveling round a curve, the outer wheelsets 3 and 4 are aligned radially to the arc of the track, indicated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 by a dash-dot line.

In the case of a stiff axle guide, the wheelset has stable behavior on straight stretches, but its radial adjustment on track curves is made more difficult.

In order to compensate deflections in the curved track, the tamping assemblies E are moved themselves on transverse guides 16 .

Since the loading wagon 3 is furthermore situated in a track curve, it is already in an inclined position due to the curve super-elevation.

This results in the desired turning movement of the axle 5 towards a radial adjustment referred to the curve in the track currently used.

Although the arrangement according to the invention can be utilized with classical wheelsets, it is particularly suitable for use with free-wheeling wheelsets that do not generate any steering forces in curves due to the lack of a rigid axle connection between the two wheels.

A running gear according to claim 1, wherein the wheel carrier is steered such that the wheels are at least one of steered and guided radially with respect to curved track.

In other words, in the undeformed track bend, the two anti-roll devices 7 and 8 provide the same effect as the known anti-roll devices in which all of the articulation points are located in bearing blocks secured to the bogie frame.
