Abstract:
1. A wheelset press for pressing or pulling wheels or brake disks on/off an axle of rail vehicles, the wheelset press comprising: at least one piston/cylinder unit is stationarily and non-movably arranged on a common straight line, wherein said piston/cylinder unit includes a movable pressure piston that serves for exerting a required pressing power for displacing the axle in a longitudinal direction of the piston/cylinder unit to bring about a pressing-on or pulling-off process, a device for accommodating the axle in the wheelset press during the pressing process, wherein the pressure piston is provided on the at least one piston/cylinder unit to transmit pressing power onto a facing end of the axle, at least one press abutment, said at least one press abutment is designed for supporting the wheel or the brake disk during the pressing process and is designed in such a way that the at least one press abutment can be transferred into a support position by means of a relative movement of the axle transverse to a longitudinal direction of the press abutment and otherwise situated outside the press area, wherein the at least one press abutment can be fixed in different positions along a longitudinal direction of the axle, and connecting columns that are rigidly arranged between press beams and carry multiple abutments for the at least one press abutment that are axially spaced apart from one another, characterized by the fact that the multiple abutments for the at least one press abutment are configured in the form of slideways for directly accommodating and displaceably transferring the at least one press abutment from a position outside the press area into a non-tilting support position of the at least one press abutment for the pressing-on or pulling-off process.
