The invention relates to a wheel axle guiding assembly comprising an axle box carrier, an axle box located longitudinally between a front part and a rear part of the axle box carrier; a front longitudinal hydro-mechanical converter between a front part of an axle box carrier and a rear longitudinal hydro-mechanical converter between the axle box and a rear part of the axle box carrier to allow a fore-and-aft movement of the axle box relative to the axle box carrier parallel to a longitudinal direction. Each of the front and rear longitudinal hydro-mechanical converters includes a housing, a plunger and an elastomeric body fixed to the housing and to the plunger so as to allow a fore-and-aft relative movement parallel to the longitudinal direction between the plunger and the housing, a single variable volume hydraulic chamber being formed between the housing, the plunger and the elastomeric body.

Wheel axle guiding assembly with longitudinal hydro-mechanical converters and associated running gear

A bearing having at least two rubber bushings, each having a vertical axis of rotation, the rubber bushings being functionally connected in parallel.

Bearing

A bearing with a core and a sheath which surrounds the core, wherein the core is supported against the sheath by at least one elastomer or a plurality of elastomers, wherein at least two functional chambers which contain a working fluid are formed between the core and the sheath, and wherein the functional chambers are bounded at least partially by the elastomer or elastomers, characterized, with respect to the problem of configuring a bearing in such a way that a drop in rigidity of the bearing is as small as possible at low temperatures, in that at least one equalizing chamber is provided for an equalizing fluid, from which the equalizing fluid can be diverted into the functional chambers, wherein the equalizing fluid in the equalizing chamber is separated from a gas-filled space or a plurality of gas-filled spaces by a movable or elastic separating element.

A coupling for connecting a driving machine part and a driven machine part, such as shafts, wheel hubs or the like, includes an intermediate shaft and articulated lever couplings situated at the ends of the intermediate shaft. Each articulated lever coupling has at least three identical articulated levers, which engage via elastic joints situated at their ends with the intermediate shaft and with the adjacent machine parts to be connected. The axes of the elastic joints of each articulated lever are oriented perpendicularly to an axial plane, the axial plane being parallel to the articulated lever and intersecting the axis of the intermediate shaft and the axes of the machine parts to be connected.
