Abstract:
A modular unit for car bodies for railway vehicles, comprising:a first component and a second component in partial engagement with one another, the first component and the second component each including a joint surface adapted to cooperate with the joint surface of the other component, and the first component and the second component each including a bearing surface, the first component and the second component each further including a clamping bracket; andexpansion body positioned between the bearing surface of the first component and the bearing surface of the second component,wherein the bearing surface of the first component is arranged substantially parallel to and opposing the bearing surface of the second component so that at least one common normal line runs through the joint surfaces and the bearing surfaces,wherein the distance between the joint surface and the bearing surface of the first component is at least 0.5 millimeters less than the distance between the joint surface and the bearing surface of the second component,wherein the clamping bracket of the first component is connected to the clamping bracket of the second component by fasteners, and wherein the joint surfaces are connected to each other by fasteners.
