Equalising beam

A balance lever ( balance lever also ) connects the springs of two or more adjacent axles of a more than two-axle vehicle, in particular rail vehicles. Its mission is to provide stability on uneven ground or poorly laid rails for a smooth and statically determinate load distribution on all axes. The function of the balance lever thus corresponds to about a Achswippe.
