Pneumatics in Rolling Stock Systems
Discover in the International Railway Journal how pneumatics show their worth in a range of rolling stock systems
Having to move a lot every day means you need a partner and technology you can rely on. Emerson is that partner.
We have a long history and years of experience in railway, combined with a product range that offers robust and intelligent technologies, and meets the specific requirements of the industry.
Our engineers have the rail expertise to bring innovation and speak our customers’ language while our solutions meet all railway-specific directives and standards worldwide.
Due to trends such as globalization, digitalization and environment protection, a continuous evolution of all components and systems used in rail transport is required.
At the same time, all products have to meet safety and reliability requirements considering all associated national and international standards, such as EN 45545.
Learn how to implement ideal, future-proof pneumatic solutions that comply with the latest railway industry standards and help you reliably master your challenges.
Emerson’s pneumatic solutions are reliable, safe, durable and cost-effective, and more importantly: they ensure reliable and precise leveling and brake control of trains. This enables quick alignment to different platform heights, short station stops and more efficient, cost-effective rail transport.
In this customer case study, you can read how we have helped London trains to be quicker and more efficient, while at the same time air consumption was reduced by up to 50%.
With pantograph systems the challenge lies in reliably maintaining the contact between the carbon strips of the pantograph and the catenary.
Emerson’s AVENTICS smart and robust pneumatic solutions provide very accurate pressure control, making them ideal for pantograph applications. They can be customized to meet the requirement of any pantograph system, no matter the size, voltage or location. Read an example of that in this customer success story.
Unloading bulk freight is a harsh and unforgiving task in which only toughest material and designs can survive. Emerson offers robust pneumatic solutions for safe and fast unloading of bulk freight from railcars. Our specialized products, such as the AVENTICS Railcar pneumatic cylinders, have a long proven track record and are pre-tested: ready for bolt-on delivery. They have a long service life thanks to robust design and material selection.
With pneumatic solutions from AVENTICS, Emerson offers a large portfolio of pneumatics specifically designed to meet the needs of railway applications, e.g. in pantograph control, levelling or brake control or the unloading of freight cars.
