Abstract

A drive of a rail vehicle includes two drive wheels and a wheel set shaft which connects the drive wheels for rotation about an axis. A dynamoelectric machine includes a shaft extending axially parallel to the wheel set shaft and mounted for rotation about a further axis. A transmission connects the shaft of the dynamoelectric machine and the wheel set shaft by a non-positive fit. Placed between the dynamoelectric machine and the transmission is a coupling which is configured for direct attachment of a brake disk of a braking apparatus which is arranged between the transmission and the dynamoelectric machine.

Claims (21)

1. A drive of a rail vehicle, said drive comprising:

two drive wheels;

a wheel set shaft connecting the drive wheels for rotation about an axis;

a dynamoelectric machine including a shaft extending axially parallel to the wheel set shaft and mounted for rotation about a further axis;

a transmission configured to connect the shaft of the dynamoelectric machine and the wheel set shaft by a non-positive fit;

a coupling placed between the dynamoelectric machine and the transmission; and

a braking apparatus arranged between the transmission and the coupling or between the coupling and the dynamoelectric machine, said braking apparatus including a brake disk directly fastened to the coupling.

2. The drive of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing assembly arranged between the drive wheels for support of the wheel set shaft.

3. The drive of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing assembly arranged outside the drive wheels for support of the wheel set shaft.

4. The drive of claim 1 , wherein the transmission is configured as a gearwheel transmission.

5. The drive of claim 1 , wherein the transmission is configured as a single-stage spur gearing.

6. A bogie, comprising a drive; said drive comprising two drive a wheel set, shaft connecting the drive wheels for rotation about an axis, a dynamoelectric machine including a shaft extending axially parallel to the wheel set shaft and mounted for rotation about a further axis, a transmission configured to connect the shaft of the dynamoelectric machine and the wheel set shaft by a non-positive fit, a coupling placed between the dynamoelectric machine and the transmission, and a braking apparatus arranged between the transmission and the coupling or between the coupling and the dynamoelectric machine, said braking apparatus including a brake disk directly fastened to the coupling.

7. The bogie of claim 6 , wherein the drive includes a bearing assembly arranged between the drive wheels for support of the wheel set shaft.

8. The bogie of claim 6 , wherein the drive includes a bearing assembly arranged outside the drive wheels for support of the wheel set shaft.

9. The bogie of claim 6 , wherein the transmission is configured as a gearwheel transmission.

10. The bogie of claim 6 , wherein the transmission is configured as a single-stage spur gearing.

11. A rail vehicle, comprising a bogie, said bogie comprising a drive, said drive comprising two drive wheels, a wheel set shaft connecting the drive wheels for rotation about an axis, a dynamoelectric machine including a shaft extending axially parallel to the wheel set shaft and mounted for rotation about a further axis, a transmission configured to connect the shaft of the dynamoelectric machine and the wheel set shaft by a non-positive fit, a coupling placed between the dynamoelectric machine and the transmission, and a braking apparatus arranged between the transmission and the coupling or between the coupling and the dynamoelectric machine, said braking apparatus including a brake disk directly fastened to the coupling.

12. The rail vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the drive includes a bearing assembly arranged between the drive wheels for support of the wheel set shaft.

13. The rail vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the drive includes a bearing assembly arranged outside the drive wheels for support of the wheel set shaft.

14. The rail vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the transmission is configured as a gearwheel transmission.

15. The rail vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the transmission is configured as a single-stage spur gearing.
