Abstract
A three-dimensional single-wheel suspension for wheels of a railed vehicle, where a wheel unit, including a wheel, a wheel mounting, a non-rotating wheel carrier, and a drive and/or braking mechanism, is provided to execute steering and/or cushioning movements relative to the vehicle. The wheel carrier is movably connected to the vehicle via linkage rods, and is also connected to the wheel carrier of the oppositiely disposed wheel. The point of connection of at least one of the linkage rods to the vehicle is adjustable as a function of such vehicle states including forward or rearward travel, straight-ahead travel or travel through a curve, and braking or driving, and/or including a function of the state of wear of the wheel.
