A level control system adjusts the level of a rail vehicle, and includes at least one level control cylinder and a level control piston. The level control piston is at least partly received in the level control cylinder in a movable manner. The level control system has at least one first hydraulic connection, wherein the level control cylinder or the level control piston has a collared shoulder, in which at least one first fluid channel connected to the first hydraulic connection is arranged. At least one first attachment for receiving the first hydraulic connection is provided along the collared shoulder, the first attachment, being arranged on the collared shoulder tangentially to the longitudinal axis of the level control cylinder or of the level control piston such that at least one tangential external fluid connection on the collared shoulder can be connected to the at least one first hydraulic connection.

A chassis (100), in particular a low-floor chassis, for a rail vehicle, in particular for a tram-way. The chassis (100) comprises at least four wheels (4) each having a wheel bearing, at least two wheel axles for suspending the wheels (4), a chassis frame (1) and a primary suspension for suspending the wheels (4) relative to the chassis frame (1). The primary suspension has at least four torsion bars (20). Two torsion bars (20) each, in particular two torsion bars on one side of the chassis, are connected via a connecting element (21) in such a way that the torque of the torsion bars (20) oppose each other, in particular the torques essentially cancel each other out.

The invention relates to a railway vehicle comprising a car (14) and a bogie (16). The bogie (14) comprises a chassis (28) and a secondary suspension system (30). The secondary suspension system (30) comprises: a set (34) of springs; a jack (36) comprising two ends (44, 46); and a supply device (38) of the jack (36). The jack (36) is configured to go from a first so-called retracted configuration in which the jack (36) is only connected to the car (14) by the first end (44) to a second so-called deployed configuration in which the jack (36) is also connected to the chassis (18) by the second end (16). The power supply device (38) is configured, in the deployed configuration, to supply the jack (36) so as to move the car (14) away from the chassis (28) or to keep the distance between the car (14) and the chassis (28) constant.

A vehicle guidance system and method of forming the same. The vehicle guidance system includes a transport guideway having an at least partial tube structure; vehicle tracks; a vehicle, having a fuselage with an uppermost surface and a lowermost surface, that travels over the vehicle tracks; and at least one track channel assembly arranged on an inside of the at least partial tube structure. The at least one track channel assembly is arranged so that, as the vehicle travels over the vehicle track, the at least one track channel assembly is located between the uppermost surface and the lowermost surface of the fuselage.

A level control system adjusts the level of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, and includes at least one level control cylinder and a level control piston. The level control piston is at least partly received in the level control cylinder in a movable manner. The level control cylinder has a collar-shaped shoulder, and the level control system has a first fixing disc which is connected to the level control piston in order to transmit a lifting movement. At least one spacer element is arranged between the collar-shaped shoulder of the level control cylinder and the first fixing disc.
