A bogie for a rail-based vehicle, such as a train or tram. The bogie comprises one or more rail wheel arrangements, each having two rail wheels. The rail wheels are driven by a motor arrangement, comprising one or more electrical motors. The operation of the motor arrangement is controlled by alternating signals provided by an inverter arrangement formed in the bogie. The inverter arrangements converts a direct current (power supply) to one or more alternating currents, or one or more alternating current power supplies, for controlling the torque applied by the electrical motor(s) of the motor arrangement.

Disclosed is a gearbox for rail vehicle, a bogie for rail vehicle and a rail vehicle. The gearbox for rail vehicle includes a primary gearbox (1) configured to connect with a traction motor, and a secondary gearbox (2) arranged on both sides of the primary gearbox (1) along a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle, wherein a framework bearing beam is formed by connecting the primary gearbox (1) and the secondary gearbox (2), the primary gearbox (1) is configured to transmit power from the traction motor to the secondary gearbox (2), and the secondary gearbox (2) are configured to transmit power from the primary gearbox (1) to wheelsets of the rail vehicle.

A device for lubricating a traction motor drive end bearing is disclosed. The drive end lubrication device may include an inner cover, an outer cover, and a paddle wheel. The inner cover may include a first mating surface and the outer cover may include a second mating surface. The inner cover first mating surface may fit together with the outer cover second mating surface to form a casing and the paddle wheel may nest inside the casing.

A transmission for the power-train of a rail vehicle, in which the transmission (3) includes an input shaft (4), an intermediate shaft (5) and a drive output shaft (6). The input shaft (4) can be connected so as to be driven by a drive motor (2), and the drive output shaft (6) forms a wheelset shaft of the rail vehicle. The transmission (3) has at least two selectively shiftable transmission stages with different transmission ratios for the same travel direction, and a shifting device (7) for engaging the transmission stages. Furthermore, a power-train for a rail vehicle having a transmission of such type is proposed.

The invention relates to a bogie (10) for a rail vehicle (29). The bogie (10) comprises a bogie frame (11) with two longitudinal beams (8), a traction motor (1) with a motor shaft (15) and a cooling device (14). The traction motor (1) can be cooled by the cooling device (14). The traction motor (1) is arranged between the longitudinal beams (8). The cooling device (14) comprises a fan (2) and a fan drive (4). The fan drive (4) can be designed as an electric permanent magnet motor. The cooling device (14) is arranged between the longitudinal beams (8).

The invention also relates to a rail vehicle (29) with a bogie (10) as described above.

There is provided a reduction gear unit including: a pinion; a bearing that is located on each of both sides of the pinion; a large gear that meshes with the pinion; a gear case that stores therein lubricant oil, and accommodates the pinion and the gear; and pinion bearing caps each of which includes an annular portion, wherein the annular portion extends from outside of the gear case toward inside thereof and parallel to a pinion shaft, and includes an end portion in which an end surface in an extending-direction is provided on a side of the pinion with respect to an extended line of a gear-side end surface of an inner race of the bearing, and an inner peripheral surface of the end portion is formed so that a diameter is decreased from a gear-side end surface of an outer race toward the end surface.
