Abstract

A rotation impeding device for a vehicle having a first vehicle component comprising a running gear and a second vehicle component comprising a wagon body supported thereon the rotation impeding device comprising a friction element carrier for a first friction element, wherein the friction element carrier is connectable to the running gear or the wagon body in such a manner torsionally rigid about a height axis of the vehicle that the wagon body is supported on the running gear by means of the friction element, wherein the wagon body is rotatable relative to the running gear under a friction-laden relative movement between the first friction element and a second friction element impeding a rotation about the height axis. There is provided a force generating device with a contact element, wherein the force generating device is connectable to the vehicle component carrying the friction element carrier in such a way that it acts, via the contact element, on the friction element carrier in order to generate a contact force between the first friction element and the second friction element.
