Reliability and Safety
Railway transport is one of the most crucial elements of the transport infrastructure. The reliability and safety of railway equipment directly depend on the quality of components. Springs for railway transport are used in various units of rolling stock and infrastructure elements, operating under particularly demanding conditions. The manufacturer of railway springs must ensure full compliance of the product with increased requirements, using high-quality materials and advanced production technologies.
Types of Springs for Various Railway Equipment Elements
Railway rolling stock contains various spring elements, each performing its important function.
Running Gear Springs
Axle Box Suspension Springs
Secondary Suspension Springs
Damping Springs
Freight Wagons & Passenger Carriages
Wagon suspension springs are key elements ensuring ride smoothness. Springs for freight wagons are designed for significant loads, while springs for passenger carriages are optimised for comfort.
Traction Rolling Stock and Specialised Springs
Traction Stock Components
- Springs for Diesel and Electric Locomotives
- Traction Unit Spring
- Pantograph Springs
- Current Collector Spring
- Springs for Auxiliary Mechanisms
Locomotives and multiple unit rolling stock use specialised spring elements made from high-strength alloy steels with specific heat treatment technologies.
Specialised Springs
- Draft Gear Springs
- Folding Platform Spring
- Dump Car Springs
- Mining Locomotive Springs
- Brake System Springs
In addition to standard suspension elements, specialised springs are used in railway equipment for shock absorption, mechanism operation, and ensuring safety.
