Gap bridging system
A gap bridging system for a rail vehicle, for bridging the gap between the floor of a passenger compartment and a station platform, includes a component support and a step plate which is mounted with respect to the component carrier by a slide mounting such that it can slide, the slide mounting includes a rolling bearing linear guide and two sliding bearing linear guides.
1. A gap bridging system of a rail vehicle for bridging a gap between a passenger compartment floor and a platform, comprising:
a component carrier; and
a step plate which is mounted with respect to the component carrier by a slide mounting such that said step plate is slidable within the rail vehicle;
wherein the slide mounting includes a rolling bearing linear guide and two sliding bearing linear guides;
wherein the rolling bearing linear guide comprises a fixed bearing, which transmits forces between the step plate and the component carrier in each spatial direction oriented at right angles to the movement direction of the step plate; and
wherein the sliding bearing linear guides comprise floating bearings.
2. The gap bridging system for a rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding bearing linear guides are arranged on outer ends of the step plate in a direction of movement of the step plate and the rolling bearing linear guide is arranged centrally between the sliding bearing linear guides.
