Abstract
A railborne vehicle includes a truck with two sides and double-axle truck frames, wheelsets with wheels on each side of the truck, wheelset bearing/axle bearing housings for the two wheels of each side, and wheelset guide rods and compensating levers connecting the wheelset bearing/axle bearing housings of the two wheels of each side to one another. A radially adjustable running gear for the railborne vehicle includes a horizontally displaceable but vertically rigid wrist point longitudinally displaceably securing the wheelset guide rod to the truck frame. A connecting guide rod is connected between the wheelset guide rod and the compensating lever. Respective articulation points connect the connecting guide rod to the wheelset guide rod and the compensating lever.
