Railway Industry

How Angst+Pfister’s Solutions Are Being Applied: 

• Antivibration Technology: Our anti-vibration mounts, shock absorbers, and dampers significantly reduce noise and vibrations, enhancing passenger comfort and protecting critical components.
• Thermal Management with Elastomers: Advanced elastomers manage heat and support electrical heat dissipation, protecting both passengers and cargo while ensuring consistent performance under thermal stress.
• Sealing Solutions: Our advanced sealing technologies are used for train doors, windows, and hatches, providing reliable seals that accommodate dynamic movement and ensure smooth operation in sliding and retractable systems.
• Suspension and Bogie Systems with Sealing: Our robust seals are engineered to withstand high vibration and dynamic loads, enhancing durability and performance in demanding rail environments.
• Extensive Testing: We conduct torough pre-testing to validate materials against industry standards, ensuring every solution meets the demands of railway applications.
• Hose Line Safety and Reliability with Fluid Handling Technology: We supply hose line components that meet all relevant regulations, standards, and approvals, guaranteeing their availability and compliance at all times. Our hoses are engineered not only for resistance to conveyed media but also for durability against environmental influences, helping to reduce railway shutdowns.
• Space-Efficient Shaped Parts with Sealing and Fluid Hanlding Solutions: Limited space in railway installations can lead to hose kinking, compromising function and safety and potentially incurring high costs. Our precisely engineered shaped parts provide a reliable, safe solution to prevent kinking and ensure dependable performance.
