Abstract
A wheel set for a rail vehicle, in particular for a locomotive, includes two track wheels which are connected by a wheel axle mounted in two wheel set bearings. Each wheel set bearing includes a cast bearing housing, which is closed by an outer housing cover and an inner pressure ring. In addition, the bearing housing has a clamping position for engaging a tensioning device of a machine tool for machining the wheel set. Since the clamping position is integrated in the pressure ring, the clamping position can be easily cut to size and the bearing housing can be produced in a weight-optimized and cost-effective way in comparison to known bearing housings.
