ABSTRACT:
A wheel set guidance for trucks of rail vehicles, especially commuter traffic vehicles. To have a continuously extending floor on as low a level as possible, a truck with free wheels is proposed where the free wheels are mounted in pedestal bearings that are connected with a frame structure that is connected to the truck frame in such a way as to be pivotable in a vertical direction. One of the wheel sets can be driven, with the free wheels thereof being connected in a twist-resistant manner via gear arrangement, so that from a motion standpoint the same effect is achieved as if the driven wheel set were connected with a rigid wheel set shaft, but without this shaft being in the way of the floor, so that a vehicle equipped with this truck can have a continuously extending floor on a low level.
