Application examples from Public transport engineering
Passenger compartment doors
Chainflex® control cables for extremely narrow bending radii are used in this application in passenger compartment doors in public transport vehicles.
Current consumer
igubal® spherical bearings as insulating components in current consumers of the subway.
Roll stand for railway tracks
Up to now, the energy supply to the rollers in this railway track rolling mill has been realised using steel chains.
Streetcar switches
The applied material repels chips with temperatures up to 850° C without leaving a trace.
Tunnel construction
Tunnel boring in defined sections with the assistance of an igus® E-ChainSystem®, which guides the essential hose cables section by section.
Tunnel boring machine
This machine moves deeply through the earthand is used to drill tunnels using the excavationby mining technique.
Railroad platform
The hinge elements and cam rollers of the ramps are inserted with two iglidur® Z plain bearings respectively.
Machine tool for railway track plates
This machine tool requires a large number of different cables and hoses for the manufacture of track plates
Low-floor tram
Chainflex® control cable for extremely narrow bending radii ensures operational safety in low-floor trams.
Portal milling machine
The previously used energy supply system as a rule wore out after nine months; the cables were destroyed by hot chips, which led to production failures.
