bogies/running gear(s) with independent(ly suspended/rotating) wheels


Explanation:
With "independent" meaning: not connected to the opposites wheel through an axle and thus supported by its own axle with its own bearing/suspension, and maybe even independently motorized.

Seems to be common (more than I originally thought) on trams nowadays.

"Running gear" may be more adequate than the classical "bogie", but this depends on the actual design.

independent suspension


Explanation:
...is the term you're looking for.


Independent suspension is a broad term for any automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically (i.e. reacting to a bump in the road) independently of each other. This is contrasted with a beam axle, live axle or deDion axle system in which the wheels are linked–movement on one side affects the wheel on the other side. Note that “independent” refers to the motion or path of movement of the wheels/suspension. It is common for the left and right sides of the suspension to be connected with anti-roll bars or other such mechanisms. The anti-roll bar ties the left and right suspension spring rates together but does not tie their motion together.

neutral  opolt: Railway/rolling stock terminology is quite specific and tends to be very different from automobile; in most cases it can't be borrowed just like that.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  opolt: Originally I was tending towards "idler/idle w.a." myself, but IMHO the term also suggests "not (motor-)driven", which need not be the case at all -- quite the contrary. Putting an extra "driven" seems odd, though I'm not a native E speaker.

  -> There are, strangely enough, patents about driven idlers.
