Our R&D department is totally committed to offering the best damper solutions for each unique rail transportation system. To best serve the railway market, we have developed three damper product lines, each with unique benefits. Dampers for primary–vertical, secondary–vertical and secondary–horizontal bogies
Our Performance Line dampers offer excellent value for money and are among the latest damper innovations for primary–vertical, secondary–vertical and secondary–horizontal bogies.
These high–quality products provide a maintenance–free superb operation until the next planned major overhaul of the bogies. The product can subsequently be replaced by a new damper or overhauled in a specialized workshop. Our Performance Line dampers are among the latest technology for primary-vertical, secondary-vertical and secondary-horizontal bogies. Endurance Line yaw dampers control small-amplitude sinusoidal bogie rotational movements. Our vibration isolation products are custom-engineered to solve your complex shock, vibration and noise isolation problems. The relatively small-sized pantograph damper is customized to keep the pantograph in working position in contact to the catenary.
The production line for these dampers makes use of the latest production technologies, which results in a high level of automation and the elimination of unnecessary handling. These dampers are optimized to achieve the lowest possible initial purchase price without compromising the quality of the product.
The dampers include the following features: Robust construction, resulting in long service life Symmetrical force in extension and compression Linear force rate up to a freely defined blow–off point Maintainable or sealed construction at customer’s request The special synthetic rings around the piston and the guide, result in the absence of any metal–to–metal contact High–quality silent blocks Noise–free valve systems Adaptable, long–lasting rail dampers
Our Endurance Line dampers are designed for at least 25 years of operation. These extremely robust products wear at a very slow rate and can easily be adjusted and reconditioned to new conditions.
The circulating–oil principle guarantees unmatched symmetrical damping forces and provides for an excellent heat transfer between the damper and surrounding air, allowing them to operate in the most extreme conditions. The design is optimized to achieve the highest possible dependability while allowing the longest time between consecutive overhauls.
Endurance Line dampers are available for the following applications: Primary–vertical bogies Secondary–horizontal bogies Secondary–vertical bogies Inter–car Yaw Anti–roll Yaw dampers for small–amplitude sinusoidal bogies
Endurance Line yaw dampers are specially designed to control small–amplitude sinusoidal bogie rotational movements and thereby enable trains to be operated at speeds above those previously possible. The same technology is also used in our inter–car dampers.
This robust construction of the Endurance Line dampers is reflected in: Large diameter of the piston rod limiting the surface pressure due to side loads, providing reduced friction and a long lifetime High–quality silent blocks Low–friction multiple seal system The special synthetic rings around the piston and the guide result in the absence of any metal to metal contact Noise–free valve systems Screwed dust cover; no welding required Internal or external dust bellows, protecting the piston rod against small abrasive particles High–capacity shock absorbers
With the newest innovations in energy absorption technology we offer the widest selection of high-capacity shock absorbers in the world. They are used as energy dissipation devices installed in automated couplers and draw bars to provide crash protection from frontal and rear impacts caused by vehicle–to–vehicle collisions.
High–capacity shock absorbers also form an essential component in fixed and sliding end–of–track–stops. Vibration isolation products
Our vibration isolation products are custom-engineered to solve your complex shock, vibration and noise isolation problems. Our engineers utilize proprietary 6°–of–freedom analysis programs along with extensive dynamic testing capabilities to quickly transition from concept to production. Pantograph dampers
Our Technology Line products include pantograph dampers and door–actuator dampers. The relatively small pantograph damper has a position-dependant performance characteristic. It is customized to control the pantograph in working position in contact to the catenary, as well as lowering the pantograph to the roof. Train door–actuator dampers
Controlling the door movements in such a way that the doors close and open with exactly the correct speed and without slamming can be performed using dedicated stroke–dependent dampers.
