Overview

Railway Pantograph & Contact Systems
Railway Pantograph & Contact Systems

Railway pantograph and contact systems designed for efficient current collection from overhead catenary lines. Our systems ensure reliable power transmission across various rail networks, from urban trams to high-speed railways.

Key Features

  • Low-wear carbon composite contact strips
  • Optimized aerodynamic profile for high-speed operation
  • Adjustable contact pressure for different catenary types
  • Corrosion-resistant construction for outdoor durability
  • Compatible with AC and DC traction systems
  • Built-in arcing protection and current shunting
