Patent ID: 10259474

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a running gear of a rail vehicle defining a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a height direction, the running gear comprising a first wheel unit (103.1) and a second wheel unit (103.2) defining a wheel unit axle distance, a running gear frame (104) supported on the first wheel unit (103.1) and the second wheel unit (103.2), and a first drive unit (107.1) driving the first wheel unit (103.1). The first drive unit (107.1) comprises a first reaction moment support unit (110) connected to the running gear frame (104) at a first support location to balance a drive moment exerted onto the first wheel unit (103.1) by the first drive unit (107.1). The first support location, in the transverse direction, is laterally offset from a center of the running gear frame (104). The first support location, in the longitudinal direction, is located at a first support location distance from a first wheel unit axle of the first wheel unit (103.1), which is at least 35% of the wheel unit axle distance.
