Abstract

See full text

A device for compensating the tilt of the carriage body of a rail vehicle when travelling around sharp turns at high speeds includes a tilt compensator with a four-bar mechanism, the tilt compensator being operationally connected to an energy storage device. The four-bar mechanism includes a transversely movable support that is mounted in a floating manner and which is supported on a carriage body suspension for providing vertical cushioning of the carriage body. Preferably, the four-bar mechanism is formed of a wobble stabilizer, two laterally mounted hinged supports and the aforementioned transverse support mounted in a floating manner with a central pivot extending between the energy store and the transverse support.
