Pantographs for the railway.
The pantograph is the essential link between the train and the overhead contact line. We offer tailor-made solutions in accordance with our customers' wishes.
Our optimised Automatic Dropping Device (ADD) system ensures that pantograph with damaged contact strips or rockers are lowered fully automatically. This prevents further damage to the overhead contact lines and the pantograph, thus reducing repair and follow-up costs to a minimum.
Optimised bearing guides. The bearings in the bellows drive ensure maintenance-free operation.
Thanks to our individually adjustable deflector plates, we achieve the required contact pressure even at very high speeds. This adjustability allows us to meet all approval requirements.
Customer-specific adjustments can be implemented at any time. Our sales staff and project managers will be happy to assist you.

Product Highlights
Rocker suspension
We use our four-way suspension system to ensure the best possible service life for the carbon collector strips. The horizontal suspension ensures gradual and uniform abrasion while maintaining constant contact with the railway line. Unevenness from the power line is absorbed, thus preventing damage to the sliding contacts. Other influences, such as vibrations and weather conditions, are primarily absorbed by the vertical suspension. The optimum protection for the railway line and all underlying components.
Height limitation
For safety, all our pantographs can be equipped with a height limiter. It ensures that the single arm pantograph does not extend completely if there is no contact with the catenary. This prevents the pantograph from tipping over and additionally provides more safety in rail traffic.
Ice scraper
The ice scraper option can be used to counter problems caused by ice or frost on the overhead contact line. Ice can form on the contact wire systems and lead to failures, especially in the winter months. Our contact strips can be operated with permanently installed ice scrapers or switchable ones, which remove the ice layer while driving.
