High-performance current collectors—ensuring seamless and efficient energy transfer.
Current Collector & Contact
Pantograph Current Collector Strips
Pantograph carbon strips, used in overhead current collection systems, offer reduced maintenance, extended service life, and enhanced operational efficiency. These strips prevent welding to conductor wires, reduce audible noise, and support high-speed operations. Advanced designs include lightweight bonded materials, heated collectors, and impact detection systems, ensuring durability and adaptability to various railway standards.
Traction Brushes and Brush Holders
Traction brushes and holders are integral for efficient energy transfer in rail systems. Made from high-quality carbon and metalized materials, they ensure durability, low electrical resistance, and optimal performance under demanding conditions, minimizing wear and maintenance requirements.
Wheel Flange Lubrication
Wheel flange lubrication systems reduce friction between the wheel flange and rail, decreasing wear and noise while improving energy efficiency. These systems enhance the longevity of rolling stock and rails, contributing to smoother and more sustainable railway operations.
Aegis SGR
The Aegis SGR (Shaft Grounding Ring) prevents electrical discharge damage in motor shafts. By channeling harmful currents away from sensitive components, it reduces maintenance needs and extends the operational life of motors in rail and industrial applications.
Earthing Unit
Earthing units provide essential grounding to enhance safety and protect railway systems from electrical faults. These units are designed to withstand high electrical loads, ensuring system reliability and compliance with safety standards.
Third Rail Shoes
Third rail shoes provide effective current collection for rail systems, utilizing carbon-based materials to minimize wear and friction. Their lightweight and self-lubricating properties reduce rail damage, enhance system reliability, and virtually eliminate sparking, even on systems with aluminum rails.
Coupler Contact
Coupler contacts are critical for ensuring reliable electrical connectivity between train cars. These components, designed to withstand environmental stresses, maintain consistent current flow and are constructed to meet rigorous railway performance standards. Their robust design ensures operational efficiency and minimal maintenance.
