A spring cup for a primary suspension of a rail vehicle, wherein the spring cup has a longitudinal axis and a spring base for transmitting occurring forces onto a chassis frame of the rail vehicle, and includes a spring seat for receiving at least one spring element, wherein the spring seat is supported against the spring base of the spring cup, where a central section of the spring seat is formed as a contact element having a contact surface for an emergency spring device, and the spring seat is configured such that a force acting on the contact surface is introduced into the spring base outside of the projection surface, resulting from the projection at least of the contact surface along the longitudinal axis onto the spring base in order to achieve a transfer of force from the center of the spring base.

A level control system for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes at least one level control cylinder and one level control piston, the level control piston being movably guided in the level control cylinder in order to adjust the level of the rail vehicle, the level control piston having an outer piston sleeve and a piston main body at least partially accommodated in the piston sleeve, and the piston main body being slidable relative to the piston sleeve for wear readjustment and being lockable and/or fixable in at least two adjustment positions.

A secondary spring for a rail vehicle springs a wagon body of the rail vehicle on the chassis of the rail vehicle. The secondary spring is divided along a predefined axis into a first and at least one further, second section. The first section is configured to be axially stiff and springy orthogonally to the predefined axis, and the second section is configured to be stiff orthogonally to the predefined axis and axially springy. The secondary spring contains at least one horizontal stop, which is arranged on the secondary spring such that a force which acts on the horizontal stop orthogonally to the predefined axis is introduced into the secondary spring between the first and the second section.

A traveling bogie includes a steerable wheel, a bogie main body configured to support the steerable wheel, a guide apparatus pivotally supported by the bogie main body and turned by receiving a reaction force from a guide rail, a steering mechanism configured to apply a steering force to the steerable wheel using the reaction force received by the guide apparatus, and an assist mechanism configured to apply an auxiliary steering force for assisting with the steering force from the steering mechanism to the steerable wheel.

This traveling bogie is provided with: steered wheels; a main body for supporting the steered wheels; a guide device turning when subjected to a reaction force from a guide rail; a steering mechanism for applying a steering force to the steered wheels utilizing the reaction force applied to the guide device; and an assist mechanism for applying an assist steering force to the steered wheels, the assist steering force assisting the steering force applied by the steering mechanism. The assist mechanism is provided with: a first operation arm pivoting together with the steered wheels in the direction in which the steered wheels are steered; a second operation arm rotating about a rotation axis relative to the main body in response to the turning of the guide device; and an elastically deformable section connected to the first operation arm and the second operation arm and elastically deformable.
