ABSTRACT:
A running gear for rail vehicles includes a running gear frame having a central axis and pivot points secured to the running gear frame, a middle wheelset, two end wheelsets and pivot points facing the end wheelsets. Oblique guide rods are each pivotably connected between a respective one of the pivot points secured to the running gear frame and a respective one of the pivot points facing the end wheelsets. The pivot points facing the end wheelsets are disposed farther outward or farther away from the central axis than the pivot points secured to the running gear frame, for generating an a radial or virtually radial adjustment of the wheelset by a transverse motion of the wheelset. Levers transmit the transverse motion of the middle wheelset to the oblique guide rods.
