Railroad Equipment
Major Products
Caliper brakes with tread cleaning systems
Small, lightweight hydraulic caliper brakes provide the high brake forces and safety required for the increasing speeds of railway vehicles.A tread cleaning system provides sure contact between the wheel tread and rail.This reduces wheel noise and produces a safe, comfortable ride at high speeds.
Oil Dampers for Railroad Vehicles
Safety and ride comfort of railroad vehicles are maintained by a combination of dampers such as an axial damper, yaw damper, and lateral damper.
Inter-car Yaw Dampers
Dampers are installed between railroad vehicles to absorb rolling and impact from other vehicles.
Telescopic shock absorbers
Telescopic gas springs can be freely fixed in any position.Allowing for stepless adjustment, these units see a wide range of applications, including recliners for seats in bullet trains and lifting regulators for beds and desks.
Automatic height adjustment valves
One valve is installed for each of the left and right air springs. Air intake and exhaust is controlled to maintain a constant vehicle height regardless of changes in vehicle body weight.
Differential pressure valve
Installed between the left and right air springs to control differential pressure within the springs.
