A bogie and a rail vehicle, wherein the bogie includes: a framework, a wheel pair connected to the framework, a braking hanger fixed to the framework, a hanger slider used for fixedly connecting to a vehicle wheel braking clamp, and a transmission member; the hanger slider is connected to the braking hanger, and the transmission member is connected to the hanger slider; a first end of the transmission member extends to a side surface of a vehicle wheel in the wheel pair, and the transmission member is used to drive the hanger slider to move along the lateral direction with respect to the braking hanger when the first end is subjected to a thrust applied in the lateral direction by the vehicle wheel, so that the vehicle wheel braking clamp moves to a position corresponding to the vehicle wheel.

Disclosed is a brake system for a railroad vehicle, including a parking brake provided with a piston and having a first configuration in which the piston is in a working position in which it acts on a lining support and applies a predetermined force to a brake disc; a second configuration in which the piston is in a rest position in which it does not act on the support and does not apply any force to the disc; and a third configuration in which, when the vehicle is not at a standstill and the ambient temperature in the environment of the disc is greater than a threshold value, it forces the piston to move towards a trip position different from its working and rest positions, in order to limit or cancel the force applied to the disc.

A braking system for a vehicle may include a regulating device disposed between a braking device and a pressure agent source that causes the braking device to move. The regulating device may include a slide having an internal chamber with a supply port, a venting port, and a regulating port opening into the internal chamber and through which a pressure agent from the pressure agent source may flow. The regulating port can be located between the supply port and the venting port. Each of the supply port and the venting port may have a general cross-section for passage of the pressure agent substantially having a shape with at least one apex.

The aim of the invention is to provide a running gear with a mount for a brake linkage on a bogie, wherein the mount has a long service life and requires little maintenance. The transmission of shocks and vibrations between the brake linkage and the bogie is reduced, and the bogie and the brake linkage are electrically insulated from each other. A running gear for a rail vehicle including a bogie and a brake linkage is proposed, having at least one bearing element. The brake linkage is mounted on the bogie and/or is connected to the bogie by means of the at least one bearing element, and the at least one bearing element has a plastic and/or consists of a plastic.

An aerodynamic noise reduction member 30 includes: a plate-like support portion 32 sandwiched between a plurality of fins 24 and 26 of a brake disk 20 and a rotating member 102 of a railroad vehicle; and a plurality of protruding portions 34 protruding from the support portion 32. Each of the plurality of protruding portions 34 is provided in such a manner that, in a state in which the support portion 32 is sandwiched between the plurality of fins 24 and 26 and the rotating member 102, each of the protruding portions 34 partially occludes between the fastening fin 24 and the anchoring fin 26 adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction of the brake disk 20.
