ABSTRACT:
The driven running gear is intended for low-platform rail vehicles with at least two body parts which are articulated to each other. It is provided with two individual running gears (2, 2') fitted with steering means (15, 15', 16). The running gears are interconnected to pivot about their horizontal axis beneath the axial center of the wheels (8, 8') by a connecting member (3). The connecting member has at its ends transversely directed support arms (4, 4') for the support of a body part. On the latter there are fastened at least one motor (21, 21') and a brake (23, 23', 24, 24') which drive and brake the running gear (1) via telescopic universal shafts (25, 25') and bevel gearings (26, 26') arranged on the outside of the wheels on both individual running gears (2, 2'). In this way, upon travel around a curve, the angle of bend formed between a leading body part in the direction of travel under which such a running gear is located and a trailing body part which is also supported on an axle is transmitted to the steerable individual running gears so that the desired curve-radial position of the pairs of wheels results.
