8 will then result in lower braking noises during the operation in fig7 a brake pad 8 is disposed on the bogie 80 via a single linkage for this purpose a tension bow 60 is provided on one or both sides of the wheel 4 which tension bow 60 simultaneously forms a tension rod the tension bow 60 is connected in an articulated manner with two holding lugs 61 and 62 which in turn are linked to the bogie 80 which is not shown in detail at the end of the tension bow 60 facing the wheel 4 the tension bow 60 is connected via an articulation 64 with a pressure piece 65 which presses the brake pad 8 against the surface 7 of the wheel 4 during a braking operation in this case the holding lug 62 is linked to the tension bow 60 in the direct proximity of the brake pad 8 in the embodiment illustrated in fig8 the shoe brake assembly is mounted on the bogie 80 via a lever linkage for generating a braking force the brake pad 8 is pressed via a pressure piece 74 against the surface 7 on the wheel 4 the pressure piece 74 being movable via a tension bow 70 received at an end side in a cylinder 71 the cylinder 71 if.
