Description
FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a drive assembly for a rail vehicle. The present invention also relates to a wheel set and to a bogie having such a drive assembly. Traction motors of rail vehicles are frequently used in combination with a transmission. The purpose of the transmission is to adapt the speed level of the motors to the speed level of the wheel set and of the wheels since electric motors are usually operated at higher speeds than the wheels. Advances in the field of electric motors and inverters make it possible to use motors without transmissions. These advances permit electric motors to operate at lower speeds.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION


FIG. 1 shows a partial sectional view of a bogie 1000 with two drive assemblies 100 according to a first embodiment. Each drive assembly 100 has a motor 102, a wheel set shaft 104, and an elastic coupling 106. The wheel set shaft 104 is part of a wheel set 108, which in addition to the wheel set shaft 104, also has the wheels 110 and 112. The wheel set 108 is supported on the bogie 1000. The motor 102 is supported on the bogie 1000 by means of supports 114. Aside from the two supports 114, according to this embodiment, the elastic coupling 106 also functions as a support for the motor 102. The motor 102 is supported in floating fashion by means of the supports 114. The coupling 106 constitutes a support for the motor 102 and is subject to a radial load due to the weight of the motor 102.
