Disclosed is a rail vehicle including at least one car and at least one bogie carrying the car. The bogie includes a chassis and a secondary suspension system between the chassis and the car. The secondary suspension system includes a spring assembly mounted between the chassis and the car.The secondary suspension system includes a actuator, provided with a piston extending at least partially between an upper stop secured to the car and a lower stop secured to the chassis, and a supply device of the actuator.The supply device of the actuator is able to supply the actuator such that the distance between the upper and lower stops is kept constant by the actuator.

An axle box-bearing unit for an axle including a housing element and a sensor unit having a sensor module, a connection piece for connecting to a processing unit and a flexible electrical cable joining the sensor module and the connection piece into a single part. The housing element is delimited by an annular lateral wall provided with a transversal through hole engaged by a plug fitted in a fluid-tight manner to the flexible electrical cable between the sensor module and the connection piece. A first plate provided with a second through hole is rigidly connected to the lateral wall of the housing element, with the second hole aligned with the first hole and crossed through by the plug, a second U-shaped plate is fitted astride of the plug to connect with one end of same that projects radially from the holes and is rigidly connected to the first plate.

A bogie, including a frame (1) and a bolster (2), the frame (1) including two parallel side beams (11), and a cross beam (12) coupled to the middle of the side beams (11), wherein a primary suspension is arranged between an end of the side beam (11) and an axle box (31), a secondary suspension is arranged between the below of the bolster (2) and the cross beam (12), and a tertiary suspension coupled to a vehicle body is arranged above the bolster (2). By including a bolster and an extra suspension on the basis of the conventional two suspensions, the disclosed bogie can achieve separation of the functions, so that the tertiary suspension only handles the transverse displacement, and the secondary suspension only handles the rotation, thereby further increasing the relative displacement and rotation angle between the vehicle body and the bogie when the vehicle negotiates a curve.

A railcar bogie includes: a bogie frame including a cross beam and plate springs, the plate springs supporting both respective car width direction end portions of the cross beam and extending in a car longitudinal direction; axles extending in a car width direction; bearings provided at both respective car width direction sides of each of the axles; axle boxes accommodating the respective bearings and supporting the plate springs from below; and rubbing plates provided on an upper surface of the bogie frame to slidingly contact respective rubbed plates provided on a lower surface of a bolster. In a plan view, each of the rubbing plates is arranged within a region where the cross beam and the plate spring intersect with each other and is arranged on a center line of the plate spring, the center line extending in the car longitudinal direction.
