ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a wheel set for rail vehicles, consisting of an axle 2 and at least two wheels 4, the axle 2 being tubular. Each of the wheels 4 can be arranged on a support tube 3, each support tube 3 being postioned, pushed from one end of the tubular axle 2, over the latter in such a manner that the wheel spacing corresponds to a standard wheel gauge. For better aerodynamics of the wheel set, the two support tubes 3 can furthermore be covered by a sleeve 7, such sleeve 7 being preferably made of plastic or light metal.
