Abstract:
Interface connecting the hydrospring with the running gear of rail vehicle, that is an integrated part of the axlebox and the basis of hydrospring is thight fixed with the axlebox body and to the upside surface of the hydrospring the running gear is placed, whereby the flexible part of hydrospring is in its top ended by component with the shape fitting, preferably with plate containing the shape fitting that is in contact with the components of running gear containing shim (2), inserted in the spring support (4) and/or adapter (3) placed in the leading tube (6), whereby the shim (2) as well as adapter (3) fit into the component (1) with the shape fitting and the spring support (4) and the leading tube (6) are connected with running gear (9).
Abstract:
An end member assembly (204; 404) that is dimensioned for use in forming a gas spring assembly (200; 400) can include an end member body (248; 448) that is dimensioned for securement to a flexible spring member (206; 406) of the gas spring assembly (200; 400). The end member assembly (204; 404) can also include a compliant support structure (250; 450) that is operatively connected to the end member body (248; 448) to support the end member body in spaced relation to an associated structural component (SC2). The end member body (248; 448) can include a side wall (256; 456) that extends in overlapping (OL1; OL2) relation with at least a portion of the compliant support structure (250; 450). The end member (204; 404) can also form at least one chamber (296; 508) within the end member body (248; 448) and compliant support structure (250; 450). A gas spring assembly (200; 400) and a suspension system (1 18) are also included.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a wheel axle guiding assembly (10) comprising an axle box carrier (20), an axle box (14) located longitudinally between a front part (16) and a rear part (18) of the axle box carrier (20); a front longitudinal hydro-mechanical converter (32) between a front part (16) of an axle box carrier (20) and a rear longitudinal hydro-mechanical converter (34) between the axle box (14) and a rear part (18) of the axle box carrier (20) to allow a fore-and-aft movement of the axle box (14) relative to the axle box carrier (20) parallel to a longitudinal direction (200). Each of the front and rear longitudinal hydro-mechanical converters (32, 34) includes a housing (36), a plunger (38) and an elastomeric body (40) fixed to the housing (36) and to the plunger (38) so as to allow a fore-and-aft relative movement parallel to the longitudinal direction (200) between the plunger (38) and the housing (36), a single variable volume hydraulic chamber (42) being formed between the housing (36), the plunger (38) and the elastomeric body (40). A hydraulic port (54) provides a connection of the variable volume hydraulic chamber (40) with an external hydraulic circuit (54, 56, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74).
Abstract:
A railway bogie comprising at least one hydraulic spring (20) having a housing being required for a functionality of said hydraulic spring and an axlebox (10) is characterized by the fact that at least a part of said axlebox forms at least a part of said housing.

Abstract:
A lateral support element (304) include an element wall with a first surface facing away from an associated flexible wall (264) and a second surface facing toward the associated flexible wall. The lateral support element is disposed along the associated flexible wall such that an interface (334) is formed between an outer surface of the associated flexible wall and the second surface of the lateral support element. The interface is operative to generate a lateral spring-rate profile in an associated gas spring assembly that varies according to lateral displacement of the associated flexible wall and the lateral support element relative to one another. The interface can include a quantity of friction-reducing material and/or can be at least partially formed by a cross-sectional profile of the lateral support element that includes a convex profile segment. Gas spring assemblies and methods of assembly are also included.
Abstract:
Interface connecting the running gear frame of a rail vehicle with the hydrospring primary suspension. The base of the hydrospring is thight fixed with the axlebox body and to its upper surface supports the running gear frame. The interface comprises a shim (2) inserted in a spring support (4) or an adapter (3) placed in a leading tube (6), whereby the shim (2) as well as the adapter (3) fit into a component (1) fitted on the upper end of the hydrospring and the spring support (4) and the leading tube (6) are connected with the running gear frame (9).
