ABSTRACT:
Drive system for a railway vehicle. In a railway vehicle utilzing a high speed motor whose output shaft is arranged generally parallel to the direction of movement of the vehicle, there is provided a gearing system for connecting said motor to a driven axle of the vehicle of such nature that only a minimum of unsprung mass is present and said gearing occupies only a small amount of space. In general, the motor drives through at least two series connected gear reduction units and the output of the second thereof drives a hollow shaft surrounding the vehicle axis and flexibly connected thereto. Thus, the entire drive system excepting only for the flexible connection to the axle may be mounted on the spring supported portion of the vehicle.
