Kinematic coupling, comprising: - a first housing part with a first attachment device for attaching to a first wagon; - a second housing part with a second attachment part for attaching to a second wagon; and - a bushing for attaching a wagon body; the bushing being displaceable with respect to the first housing part in a longitudinal direction of the first housing part and with respect to the second housing part in a longitudinal direction of the second housing part; the housing parts being connected to one another and being displaceable with respect to one another by a predefined nominal stroke travel; the first and the second housing part each having a slot of identical length, with the result that the bushing is movable within the two slots and is therefore displaceable in each case by the slot length minus the diameter of the bushing, and with the result that the slot length minus the bushing diameter corresponds to half the predefined nominal stroke length of the kinematic coupling, the bushing being provided to attach an intermediate wagon body, one or more first tie straps each being provided with a first end and a second end, each of the first tie straps being attached by way of the first end to the first housing part and by way of the second end to the second housing part, and being guided in a curve around the bushing, and, for each of the first tie straps, the position of the attachment to the first housing part and the position of the attachment to the second housing part being situated between the bushing and the second attachment device in relation to the longitudinal direction of the second housing part. - a first housing part with a first attachment device for attaching to a first wagon; - a second housing part with a second attachment part for attaching to a second wagon; and - a bushing for attaching a wagon body; the bushing being displaceable with respect to the first housing part in a longitudinal direction of the first housing part and with respect to the second housing part in a longitudinal direction of the second housing part; the housing parts being connected to one another and being displaceable with respect to one another by a predefined nominal stroke travel; the first and the second housing part each having a slot of identical length, with the result that the bushing is movable within the two slots and is therefore displaceable in each case by the slot length minus the diameter of the bushing, and with the result that the slot length minus the bushing diameter corresponds to half the predefined nominal stroke length of the kinematic coupling, the bushing being provided to attach an intermediate wagon body, one or more first tie straps each being provided with a first end and a second end, each of the first tie straps being attached by way of the first end to the first housing part and by way of the second end to the second housing part, and being guided in a curve around the bushing, and, for each of the first tie straps, the position of the attachment to the first housing part and the position of the attachment to the second housing part being situated between the bushing and the second attachment device in relation to the longitudinal direction of the second housing part.
