Abstract
The invention relates to a bending mount () for a switch arrangement for magnetically levitated railways. The bending mount comprises at least a box-shaped support element () that extends in the longitudinal direction (x) and on which are fixed successively arranged supporting metal sheets () that extend on both sides of the support element and serve to assemble the pieces of equipment (). According to the invention, the supporting metal sheets () are configured as single-piece components which extend over the width of the bending mount and are interlinked in the longitudinal direction to form a chain. Said chain essentially does not influence the flexural rigidity of the support element () in the desired direction (y) of a switching arrangement but exhibits a high rigidity against torsion about the longitudinal axis (x) and against vibrations in the vertical direction (z).
