ABSTRACT:
On undercarriages for railway vehicles with at least four wheelsets which are combined into trucks, the invention teaches that force-controlled or displacement-controlled actuators are located on the end wheelsets of the trucks. These actuators thereby act on the wheelset bearings, and in terms of their effect, they are connected in parallel, in the case of the force-controlled actuators, and in series, in the case of the displacement-controlled actuator with a wheelset restraint. This system makes possible a controlled rotation of the wheelset in relation to the truck frame.
