Zusammenfassung: | A running gear (10) for a rail vehicle, comprises a front and a rear wheel sets (14, 16), each provided with left and right wheels (18L, 18R; 20L, 20R). A passive hydraulic wheel set steering system (26) comprises a control valve (32) hydraulically connected to hydro-mechanical converters (28L, 28R, 30L, 30R) for converting motion of each of the wheels towards and away from the median transverse vertical plane (100). The control valve (32) is movable between a first position in which the front left and right hydro-mechanical converter assemblies are disconnected from the rear left and right hydro-mechanical converter assemblies, and a second position in which each of the front left and right hydro-mechanical converter assemblies is connected to at least a respective one of the rear left and right hydro-mechanical converter assemblies. |
