Running gear frame for a rail vehicle

The present invention relates to a running gear frame for a rail vehicle, comprising a frame body (107) defining a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a height direction. The frame body (107) comprises two longitudinal beams (108) and a transverse beam unit (109) providing a structural connection between the longitudinal beams (108) in the transverse direction, such that a substantially H-shaped configuration is formed. Each longitudinal beam (108) has a free end section (108.1) forming a primary suspension interface (110) for a primary suspension device (105.1) connected to an associated wheel unit (103). Each longitudinal beam (108) has a pivot interface section (111) associated to the free end section (108.1) and forming a pivot interface for a pivot arm (112) connected to the associated wheel unit (103). Each longitudinal beam (108) has an angled section (108.3) associated to the free end section (108.1), the angled section (108.3) being arranged such that the free end section (108.1) forms a pillar section at least mainly extending in the height direction, the pivot interface section (111) being associated to the angled section (108.3). The pivot interface section (111) is integrated into to the angled section (108.3) and the frame body (107) is formed as a monolithically cast component made of a grey cast iron material.
