A chassis for a rail vehicle includes at least one chassis frame to which at least one first wheel set and a second wheel set are coupled and to which at least one first drive unit and a second drive unit are connected, wherein a first coupling rod is connected at least to the first drive unit in an articulated manner and is configured to be coupleable to the vehicle body of the rail vehicle in an elastic manner, such that advantageous structural conditions are achieved.

A system for the transportation of loads and/or persons at height comprises at least one car defining at least one cab for the transportation of loads and/or persons, and comprises a (tangible) cable transport component/unit/device/machine (or the like) of the car adapted to move the latter suspended at height; and a (tangible) movement component/unit/device/machine (or the like) of the car onto the ground.

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.

A ballistic protection arrangement for vehicles, in particular for rail vehicles chassis, with at least one first wheelset which has a first wheel, a second wheel and a wheelset shaft, wherein in order to provide advantageous construction conditions, a shell includes at least one first material layer, which includes a first fibre material, arranged around the wheelset shaft such that the wheelset shaft is advantageously protected from damage, for example, due to stone impacts at particularly high travelling speeds and at particularly low temperatures, where the first fibre material of the first material layer brings about high absorption of energy with the protection arrangement while, at the same time, having a low mass.

A surface conditioning device for railway track rails and/or railway vehicle wheels includes a DC power supply, a supply of gas, a plasma delivery head connected to receive DC power from the power supply and gas from the gas supply, and an igniter for igniting the gas in the plasma delivery head. In use, plasma is generated within the delivery head by ignition of the gas in the delivery head. Plasma with gas is blown from the delivery head onto a railway track rail and/or railway vehicle wheel, thereby conditioning the rail and/or wheel.
